Form & Verdict

Maiden after nine races, all this term; unraced on soft; best result was over this trip (third of seven at Hamilton in July) and he's had just one run since being gelded, but he does not bring pressing claims.

Form & Verdict

Dead-heated at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on worse) in June and that's her only win from 15 starts; not so good since, returning to some sort of form in first-time blinkers over C&D on penultimate start but tailed off in them at Chester latest.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) in August and back to form with another narrow win here (1m7f, good to soft) last week; testing ground might be important to her; had to be produced late when leading on the line last time and, although 5lb penalty demands more, she could have more to offer.

Form & Verdict

Probably acts on soft; easily off the mark over C&D (good) last month, settling better; short-headed at Southwell (1m4f, AW) six days later and has to be in serious calculations.
