Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt whose form has substance; justified favouritism in Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) most recently and should build on that success; strong contender upped to 6f on nursery debut.

Four-race maiden who ran another fair race when fourth of six on last month's nursery debut here (6f, good); he's a brother to 7f Listed winner Olivia Maralda and this step back up in trip could be a positive move.

Has shown promise at Sandown (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good), some improvement when third of nine on second occasion; this intermediate trip could be ideal, and with an experience edge over most of his rivals he's unlikely to be far away.

Has a patchy profile but she's won twice on turf this season including an apprentice handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; 0-7 on AW but she has form over C&D and is a big player off the same mark as last time (due to be 2lb higher in future).
