Form & Verdict
The bare form of his debut win at Ayr (6f, good) is nothing special but he comfortably beat his 14 rivals and left the impression that dropping to 5f could suit; he needs better but is open to plenty of improvement.

Not out of it on his best form but consistency isn't his strongest suit; up in class and others appeal more for win purposes.

His C&D win in April came off 5lb higher but little to celebrate since; needs the nine-week break to have revived his fortunes.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on his first two starts and he improved for the step up to 6f when readily winning a novice event at Kempton in June; similar form in defeat on his last two starts (6f and 5f; with cheekpieces fitted) and he sets the standard; obvious claims.

Two wins in 2022 on AW in Britain; out of form for this yard this year though recent run here in first-time blinkers a bit more encouraging; more needed but remains unproven at this trip.

Two wins in 2022 on AW in Britain; out of form for this yard this year; has slumped in the ratings, needs first-time blinkers to work in order to bring a revival.

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Slow start to her career but she improved with a switch to good to firm ground when landing a Hamilton fillies' maiden in June; followed up back at the same track last month but found 6f too much of a test at York three weeks ago; dropping back in trip can help and she's a contender.

Form & Verdict
He confirmed the promise of his debut second at Carlisle in June by winning a C&D maiden four weeks ago; conditions do not look a problem but others have achieved more.

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.

Best to forgive reappearance effort (badly drawn) but he's not the percentage call unless the ground is soft; has gained all handicap wins on that surface.

Successful in a 6f maiden at Ayr in June (good) but his two runs since have been well short of that level (hampered latest); stiff task on these terms.

C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave.

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt.
