Form & Verdict
Had a fine time for new yard on AW over the winter; encouraging return from an 81-day break when fifth at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; not so good over 7f on turf two days later but dropping back into a Class 6 is very much in his favour.

C&D win in January; not in the same form in three runs since April and minor money perhaps his best hope.

Form & Verdict
Multiple winner for Archie Watson; 0-7 for this yard but there have been more promising signs in recent starts and dropping into a Class 6 handicap will be in his favour; has less to prove than some of these.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted.

9st 9lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over 5f but she has form at 6f; last two runs have offered hope that a return to top form is imminent; cheekpieces back on after a visor was fitted last time.

Lost all chance at the start when behind two of these over C&D (good) eight days ago and had run with some credit in three starts at Brighton prior to that, but losing run is up to 33 and her best form has come over shorter.

On a three-year losing run; however, has shown satisfactory form over 6f at Brighton since joining current yard, while shaping as if she's worth another crack at this longer distance; could go well.

Nothing like the force of old but she retains some ability and has run creditably in both starts for this yard, latterly finishing second over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; each-way claims; new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Ran respectably over C&D last month and got off the mark at the 15th time of asking when digging deep to win a 7f 0-50 classified event here on Thursday; more needed to defy a penalty back in handicap company.

Best run for a while when only just missing out over C&D (good) last week and, while a strike-rate of 1-30 is naturally worrying, she won't be far away with something similar.

In rude health in the autumn and was knocking at the door in the spring; gone off the boil more recently though and he was last of seven over C&D when last seen in June; a break since needs to have done him good.
