Form & Verdict
Useful 2yo who's back with his old yard after being picked up for 11,000gns in July; another solid effort when a clear second off this mark last Monday and his claims are there for all to see in a weak handicap.

Soft-ground 6f winner here in the spring off 2lb lower who's lost his form of late, including when behind three of these last Monday; not easy to make a case for him turning things round.

J: P J McDonald

T: Phillip Makin

Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain.

Form & Verdict
Made a good beginning to her 2yo career but started handicap life on an unrealistic mark in the spring and has struggled badly; the handicapper has given her every chance but she has it to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Cheekpieces have helped this summer, with two wins and a near-miss, but she was below par behind Water Of Leith here last week; won't mind the return to 5f though, and is one of few with realistic claims.

Well held in three runs to date, pulling hard a couple of times over 7f; this is more realistic though, and she'll probably never be found a softer race, so she's worth tracking in the market.

Well held in all four runs, most recently when dropped to 5f on her handicap debut over C&D (33-1) on Monday; still early days but was behind Eternal Halo last time and she needs a transformation.
