Form & Verdict
Twice beaten under penalty in novices but he went off pretty hard last time at Salisbury (7f) under a new 7lb claimer and the winner is promising; good to soft is an unknown but is quick enough for 6f; now tongue tied.

Only made his successful Ffos Las debut (6f, good to firm) in July and has finished runner-up in two novices since, including behind a nice prospect at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month; open to further improvement now handicapping but would have something to prove were the ground to ease.

Form & Verdict
Early days with this yard and he's knocking on the door, having bumped into well-handicapped rival at Ayr and then travelling as strongly as anything when again second at Ripon (6f on good); big player with softer conditions not a bother.

Close up throughout when winning a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in July and he coped fine with soft ground when runner-up over 7f at Thirsk 11 days ago; expect a positive ride back at 6f and he's not ruled out.

Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark.

At his best this time last year and is now 2lb lower than when last successful; well held in two runs back this spring, however, and didn't shine in two previous starts here, so has a bit to prove back from six weeks off.

J: Josephine Gordon

Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Big improver since handicapping, registering an AW hat-trick but also runner-up at Thirsk (good) in May; good value for his narrow winning margin last time and has only gone up 2lb; cheekpieces are working well and, if handling this different ground, he'll be bang there.

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things.

Form & Verdict
Her fourth win at 6f when making the most of a drop in class at Chelmsford, where she accepted a lead before running on well under Luke Catton; still feasibly treated off 3lb higher but her turf wins have come on good to firm.
