Form & Verdict
Dandy Man filly who has posted progressive RPRs in her three runs and was a good second of 12 in a C&D maiden (good to soft) last time; open to more improvement off what looks a fair mark on her nursery debut and this return to quicker ground should be fine; interesting contender.

Gained sole success in 2022 but her record over 7f at Redcar features two short-head defeats last term and a respectable fourth in latest outing; in the mix, provided she's as effective back at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Won a Carlisle novice (6f, good to firm) on her second start but she's not kicked on from that in three runs since and was never really travelling on her nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time; has some questions to answer and others are more convincing.

Well held over 6f in his three runs so far, most recently when a 9l fifth of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 24 days ago; been gelded and this step up in trip could help but he needs to find improvement on nursery debut.

Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground.

Placed in two of his first three starts, including an eyecatching third from off the pace in a Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; had tough task in valuable sales race at York last time and this is much more realistic upped to 7f on his nursery debut; looks interesting with cheekpieces added and he could resume his progress.

0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on.

Form & Verdict
Made it fifth time lucky with her game win in a Doncaster nursery (7f, good to firm) and she backed that up with a close third in similar conditions at Newmarket 19 days ago; should have more to offer at this trip and she's a key player off 1lb lower than last time.

Made a good start when scoring at 11-2 at Newmarket (6f, good) in May; solid third of six at Chelmsford 16 days later but she dropped right out when upped to 7f on her nursery debut at Goodwood (good to firm) in July; still early days and this is a big drop back in grade but she has something to prove after that last run.
