Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism in Carlisle maiden (6f, good to firm) in August; went off a relatively short price for sales race over this C&D nine days later but could finish only ninth of 19; held by Dare To Hope on that form but she's still low mileage and it's possible she still has more in the tank.

Yet to run a poor race, winning at Ayr (6f, good) in July and Chelmsford (5f, AW) in August; a 3lb rise for the second success looks manageable as she's open to further progress; should make strong hat-trick bid.

Bolted up in an Ayr nursery last July (6f, good); made heavy weather of following up at Chelmsford one week later (5f) when the drop in trip didn't suit; good runs at York and Naas in September but off since a modest effort in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy last October; back in calmer waters and she looks the type her trainer will coax more out of this year.

He had been bubbling away nicely prior to enjoying his finest hour in last week's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good), digging deep to hold off a smart stablemate; 6lb rise takes him into new territory but he ran well over C&D last month and there could be more improvement lurking.

Placed over 6f at Haydock (good to soft) and Leicester (good to firm) in July and she faced a stiff task when down the field in the Convivial maiden at the Ebor meeting here (40-1) last time; has a much more realistic opportunity and she's an interesting contender on nursery debut.

Off the mark at Thirsk (6f, good) in May; ran his best race when sixth of seven in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket and he was far from disgraced when seventh of 19 in a sales race over this C&D (good) next time; usually races prominently; unlikely to be far away.
