Form & Verdict
Front-runner; in good form when this headgear combination was first fitted in early summer, holding on at Bath (5f, good to firm) and later losing out near the line over C&D (good to soft) in July; not as good since but can't rule out revival.

Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Grace Harris

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up.

Form & Verdict
Has handled good to soft but her win came on firm ground in May 2023 and best form on quicker surfaces; rarely races on slow ground now and makes limited appeal after a modest effort last time out.

Form & Verdict
Won two classifieds when cheekpieces first fitted in 2023 and excelled herself when making all in a first-time visor at Windsor (5f, good to firm; acts on soft) in June; withdrawn after upset in stalls since; on career-high mark with likely competition for lead but makes more appeal than most.

Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though.

Unraced on slower than good; in form and he won quite cosily here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; the likely strong pace will suit back at 5f (not far away in a useful novice at the trip as 2yo); connections have done very well with the family and this one is capable of rising higher.
