Form & Verdict
Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when making all to get off the mark at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; repected off 4lb higher, but while good to soft ground wouldn't be an issue anything softer may raise a question.

Highly progressive form last term, culminating in a 1m6f Listed second on soft, and better still when she got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) this June; not disgraced facing a stiff task in Goodwood Group 2 four weeks ago but needs to resume improvement.

Last season's fine improvement culminated in her 1m6f Listed second at Ascot (soft); got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) on latest outing but she did not see this trip out as well as Term Of Endearment or Sueno when they clashed in York Group 3 the time before; others seem to have the edge.

Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has improved since switched to handicaps in a tongue-tie, going down by half a length at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has run well on good to soft); up 3lb but likely to progress further and the stable is going well.

Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse last year, including this race on good to firm; hasn't seriously threatened back on the Flat for current yard and it remains to be seen whether a return to York sparks a full-scale revival.

Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse on a sound surface but he finished well adrift on his reappearance and first start since wind surgery at Nottingham in April; much more competitive when fifth of 15 at Chester (12.5f, good) one month later; was well drawn that day but it's still early days for this yard.

Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in four starts for Andrew Balding and was having his second start for this yard when second of seven behind a progressive rival at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; 1lb higher and cheekpieces are given a go, but he may need to improve again to take this.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly made a winning return on stable debut in a Bath maiden (1m, good) in April; pedigree suggests this sort of trip should suit and that looked the case when staying on into third of ten at Chester (1m2f, good) last month; a player.

Two good runs since sent into handicaps but he has some wild form swings in his record and his latest fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) was a 9l defeat; looks well handicapped on his best form but he comes with risks attached at this new trip.
