Form & Verdict
Having been fitted with a visor she could only manage fourth of five on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last Sunday, finishing 2l behind Gumais; however, her recent efforts and her pedigree (including being a half-sister to a 1m4f AW winner) strongly suggest this stiffer test should suit; respected on AW debut with cheekpieces given a go.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in August and pedigree provides some hope regarding this step up in trip; however, she's struggled on her last two starts (8.6f/1m, including here) and has something to prove.

Ready winner of a Wolverhampton nursery (extended 1m) in August off a 2lb lower mark; good second next time but her form has dipped twice since; the return to Class 6 company will help but others are open to more obvious progress.

Form & Verdict
Not shown a great deal in four starts and no improvement for the step up in trip or gelding operation when fifth of seven at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; tongue-tie worn then soon removed and down 3lb, but isn't convincing.

Little in three starts over 6f on turf and finished just under a length behind Bem Te Vi when fourth of five on nursery debut/first start since being gelded at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) ten days ago; took a good hold in that falsely run race so may do better if they go a more even gallop here.

Form & Verdict
Has shown some ability in her last two starts over 7f including when third of seven on nursery debut at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; that trip appears to stretch her, though, which would be a concern over this even stiffer test and she is speedily bred on the dam's side.

Form & Verdict
Has only beaten a total of one rival in three starts over 5f/6f on turf (gelded before latest outing); takes a significant step up in trip with a tongue-tie added for this nursery/AW debut and there is some stamina in his pedigree, but a leap of faith is required.

Midfield finishes all four starts on turf including when sixth of 12 on nursery debut at Beverley (7f, good to firm) last month; the fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth horses all won their next starts so he may be worth a second look now switched to Tapeta, especially being a half-brother to a couple of AW winners.
