Has been generally progressive in her five starts and she got off the mark in a Haydock handicap (10.4f, good to firm) in August; up 4lb but she found plenty to score with something in hand last time and this return to Polytrack is no problem; key player.

Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before.

T: Faye Bramley

Needn't make all to win but did for April's Chepstow maiden hurdle success (2m, good); refused to settle there and same trait ruined his finishing effort when last seen back on the Flat in June; likely needs to get all the basics right conceding weight all round this time.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in Lingfield novice (1m2f, good to firm) in June and perhaps the soft ground didn't suit on last month's handicap debut at Windsor; however, he also finished down the field in a Newmarket novice (1m2f, good) two starts ago and others arrive with more compelling claims.

Consistent maiden handicapper who was tried in cheekpieces when turning in a rare poor effort at Lingfield (1m4f) last month; headgear is quickly dispensed with now and he's the sort to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Won on handicap debut here (1m, soft) in May and back to winning ways here (1m, soft) three weeks ago; in between those he kept on for a fair third of six at Hamilton (8.3f, good), when his saddle reportedly slipped, and he may not need slow ground; open to further improvement now up in trip.

Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara in 2024 (two wins) but last season's hurdling form for Donald McCain was underwhelming; ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when third of five on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April but has been well beaten on the Flat since; improvement required.

Solid efforts when placed in 1m2f fast-ground maiden/novice races at Windsor the last twice, albeit no match for 4-9 winner most recently; begins handicap life on fair mark and this 110,000gns yearling may have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Easily won five-runner selling handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and subsequently sold out of George Boughey's yard for £19,000; just 3lb higher for today's stable debut but it was a very weak race last time and he needs to prove his stamina at this new trip (can be headstrong).

Went close here on her second start before gaining a narrow verdict over an odds-on rival at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) five weeks ago; showed the right attitude in that race and this well-bred filly is open to more progress now switched to a handicap; interesting contender.
