Form & Verdict
Similar placed form in novice events on all three starts last October-December, at the other Newmarket track (good) on first occasion; gelded in January, having hung markedly left on his last AW outing; interesting to see how strong he is in the market on this seasonal/handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Similar form in all four runs, his two as 2yo on good to soft/soft; had wind and gelding operations before off the mark in novice at Lingfield (7f) five weeks ago on AW debut, making up plenty of ground to score tidily as 6-5 favourite; return to 1m should suit on this handicap debut and he could now have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Probably acts on good to soft (debut); won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last November on third start; lesser show on handicap debut over that same C&D in April on sole start since, after which she had wind surgery in May and was sold out of Clive Cox's for 34,000gns in July; something to prove.

Debut (okay) was sole start on softer than good; went close on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m) in May before a creditable third of four at Haydock (1m) on final run for Kevin Ryan; sold for 16,000gns; made the running in those two handicaps and did so again when upped to 1m2f for new yard but on that occasion he faded right out of it; back to 1m in first-time headgear.

Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish, unraced on firmer than good; made the perfect start for this yard when winning by a neck at Kempton (7f, AW); creditable second of six there (1m) 13 days later; AW mark is 6lb higher than today's turf figure, so he's clearly of major interest; below form both runs on softer than good.

Won twice as a 2yo and twice close up in small fields over 1m from his six starts this season; latest run was creditable too but he needs to find extra and has headgear for the first time; may need good or firmer.
