Promising third of 16 on debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in May and runner-up at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time, behind Billboard Star who was subsequently second in the Group 2 July Stakes; firmly in calculations.

Belied her 40-1 odds by sneaking into the frame at Doncaster (7f, good) for an encouraging debut; second-best on form in this weaker event and has possibilities granted appreciable improvement.

Has run consistently in handicaps all summer and wasn't beaten far from a similarly wide stall over C&D off 5lb higher in the spring; needs to find a bit more from somewhere back up from 6f.

Beaten favourite in the Brighton race won by Pietro but broadly consistent of late and ran creditably dropped back to 6f last time (AW); 0-9 in handicaps but unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off current mark.

Won a nursery here (5f, good to firm) in August last year, but out of the frame in six outings since; following wind surgery he wasn't beaten far into seventh of 11 at Bath (1m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, but nothing in his pedigree suggests he wants this sort of trip.

Came good in Chepstow nursery (7f, good to firm) just over a year ago, his fourth start, but absent since a lesser effort a few days later and his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry; recently gelded.
