Form & Verdict
Won a Chelmsford maiden and Wolverhampton nursery (both at 7f) in August but his progress stalled at Kempton (fourth of six) last month; left Micheal Bell for 30,000gns since; still lightly raced and now drops back in trip but he needs to find more for new yard.

Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off.

Form & Verdict
Made a good start when winning at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; struggled in Listed race at Sandown next time but she bounced back with a creditable third behind a useful newcomer at Kempton in August; should have more to offer now switched to a nursery and she's respected on Tapeta debut.

Form & Verdict
Kodi Bear colt who made it 2-3 when finishing well to score on his nursery debut at Ripon (6f, good) in August; well held at Newmarket last time but that was a valuable sales race and he could resume his progress back in a nursery at this new trip; dangerous.

Decent 2yo who struggled last year, coming more than a stone down the weights; found his level again latterly on Tapeta but he ran poorly on his turf comeback in April and others make more obvious appeal.

Won two of his first three starts, including a C&D nursery off 8lb higher, but the handicapper was in command for much of 2025; creditable third to Fortamour at Newcastle when last seen 145 days ago but he has more on his plate in this deeper race.

Form & Verdict
Won on turf at Lingfield (7f/7.6f) in last two qualifying runs but she never got involved after a slow start on nursery debut at Sandown in August; still has potential after only four runs but she needs to kick on again on this return to AW.

Form & Verdict
Went close on Ayr debut in July before making all at Catterick (7f, good to firm) next time; dropped right out on his nursery debut at Haydock last month but he couldn't dominate in that race and may not have handled the slow ground; could bounce back on this switch to AW and he's not ruled out.

Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick.

Made it third time lucky when landing a Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) in June and he had some serious traffic issues when down the field on his nursery debut at York the following month; has shaped as though this new trip could suit and he's one to keep an eye on after break.
