Form & Verdict
Very well-bred gelding who has shown clear promise with his placed efforts in a Doncaster novice (1m4f) and a Lingfield maiden (11.6f, both on good) this summer; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and this unexposed 3yo should have more to offer; interesting contender.

Very well-bred gelding who bettered rather underwhelming debut when second of ten at Doncaster (1m4f, good) five weeks ago; that form already makes him a leading contender here and he probably still has potential.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in his last three starts and was clear of the rest behind an improver at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm; blinkers added) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he's respected back in trip.

Has looked quirky but he's consistent and took well to new headgear at Southwell (1m4f, AW; off 4lb lower) most recently, opening his account at the tenth attempt; that form has been well advertised by the second and third since; highly respected in the retained visor.

Runner-up on his last four starts and beaten favourite on the last three occasions; rather threw away the Newmarket race he contested 12 days ago, hanging right and carrying his head high when in front; visor replaces blinkers this time; has the ability to run well but there are reservations.

Form & Verdict
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future).
