Form & Verdict
Half-sister to connections' top-notcher Pyledriver; highly tried in a Group 3 at York last month (1m6f, good to soft) and ran respectably but the handicapper has nudged her up 4lb for her efforts; new, longer trip could prompt improvement and she's still low mileage.

Won at Ffos Las (2m) in June and ran creditably next time; major backward steps since at Southwell (AW debut) and particularly in the Cesarewitch Trial over C&D three weeks ago, after which she's hard to support.

Unexposed 4yo who scored at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in June and wasn't beaten far in a deeper race at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) last month; unraced on AW, but his sire is 11-57 (19%) here in last five seasons so a good chance he will handle the track.

Form & Verdict
In good form on the Flat since November and he made all when recording a comfortable success at Kempton 18 days ago (2m, AW); 4lb higher in stronger company today but he's a contender as long as the ground doesn't get too lively.

Having just his second run for new connections, and first for ten months, when second of nine at Chepstow 23 days ago (1m4f, good to soft; winner has won two more races since); new trip worth exploring and he seems to handle most ground; considered.

Competitive in all three runs this season and he's better off at the weights with Taritino than when beaten 2.5l by that rival at Chepstow in the first of them (1m4f); then went close here over 2m before getting outpaced back at 1m4f; returning to further can help.

Wide-margin course win on her handicap debut last September (1m4f, soft); best run since when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (1m5f, soft); 2m likely to be in range but her three best efforts have been on soft ground and she's unlikely to get that here.
