Form & Verdict
Disappointing she was turned over at odds-on on her Chelmsford comeback but she then won a weak 7f fillies' maiden in taking style on Newcastle AW last time; still has some potential now handicapping.

Two 7f wins in the spring (AW and good); progress has stalled since and needs first-time blinkers (which replace cheekpieces) to have a positive effect.

Was fine with going beyond sprint trips for the first time when beaten a nose over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; was well drawn that day and always in a good position and is 4lb higher here so needs a bit more again.

Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit.

Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive.

Winner of two recent starts at 6f/7.5f; 0.75l second behind Slieve Binnian at the Curragh last time (1m, good); didn't get a clear run that day and ran on late; raised 3lb but he looks a big player.

Form & Verdict
Steady progression last backend, latterly when making the running and splitting two subsequent winners on her side of the course in a C&D nursery (good to firm) off today's mark; there's other pace in here but she's respected.

Best on good or quicker ground; has progressed as a 4yo, proving a strong finisher over the straight 1m here when winning the Kensington Palace (good to firm; just her second run at the distance) in June; ran flat when returned to 7f in July but this looks more her trip now; can go well.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Won on the other Newmarket course in May (7f, good) and bounced back from lesser run at Epsom to win the 23-runner Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; this progressive 4yo holds strong claims up 6lb.

Form & Verdict
Comeback Newbury second has been rather let down but he looked unlucky at Chester (about 7f, good) last week, having blown the start in a race not run to suit; this mark is surely within range and having experienced 3lb claimer Aidan Keeley up won't hurt.

Won over C&D (good) for Roger Varian last summer and another fine effort over C&D when second on soft in the autumn; changed hands for 110,000gns after final 3yo start; never involved in the Lincoln at Doncaster on reappearance for new yard but he did meet trouble in running; stall 14 could make life tricky.

Form & Verdict
His closing Redcar second (7f, good) last autumn has been well advertised since; gelded after and he was all the rage (30-100) ahead of his 7f Tapeta novice comeback early last month but didn't look to have any obvious excuses in third of 11.

Got the better of Pilgrim at Ripon (5f, good) last April off a mark 2lb higher than today's, and he ended the season with some solid placed efforts; faded at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month on his first start for 111 days but he may well have needed it.

Form & Verdict
Nothing wrong with any of her three 7f efforts last year and her closing run, when favourite for a 6f Listed event on heavy ground here, was way below what she's capable of; needs more again now handicapping but that wouldn't be a surprise.
