Form & Verdict
Well beaten in three starts on turf, although he has admittedly faced impossible tasks on a couple of occasions (ran in the Middle Park last time); 2-2 on Tapeta, including an impressive success under top weight in a C&D nursery last month; has a bit to find with a few on these terms, but could go well given the conditions won't be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Turf hat-trick earlier in the year included a Listed event at Ripon (6f, good), but he could manage only fourth of seven in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good) last month and he was well held in a valuable contest at York (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago; needs to turn things around on AW debut, but his half-brother and dam both won on Tapeta.

Has blown hot and cold this season, best efforts when beaten a nose in Group 2 Duke of York (6f, good) in May and when winning Group 3 at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in July; faced stiff task but well held even so in Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last week; has a chance if on a going day.

Form & Verdict
Has improved in all four starts on turf, culminating in a last-gasp success over a stablemate in a Listed contest at York (6f, good to soft) ten days ago; the way he took that race suggested this stiffer track should be in his favour and no reason why he shouldn't cope with the surface (sire 4-22 here since the spring of last year).

Not the force of old but he retains ability and has performed with credit for his new yard this year, most recently finishing second of nine at Pontefract 12 days ago (6f, good); down in class today and should go well despite his small rise in the weights.

Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip.

Form & Verdict
Has shown plenty of ability on turf including when narrowly beaten on stable debut in a Windsor nursery (5f, good) last month, but she finished around 15l behind Never Just A Dream over C&D a fortnight later; has a mountain to climb on these terms.

Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too.

Prominent racer; won at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on second start since returning to this stable and he went close over that same C&D next time; ran creditably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 17 days ago but he has a better strike-rate on the AW (1-24 on turf).

Looked to be improving prior to a lesser performance on nursery debut at York (5.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago; even if resuming her progress now switched to the AW she faces a daunting task on these terms.

Form & Verdict
Highly tried for Andrew Balding after a winning start at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April; his third of five on debut for his third different yard at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) last month was a step back in the right direction, but he will still need much more to land this on AW debut.

2-2 on Polytrack in the summer and beaten just a length by the subsequent Cheveley Park winner Lezoo in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in July; not so good in the Group 2 Lowther at York (6f, good) the following month, but has been given a break since then and could easily bounce back.

The addition of a hood saw her win a good fillies' handicap at Newmarket last September and she followed that with a Listed second over C&D in November; perhaps unsuited by the drop to 5f here three weeks ago when the hood was absent; headgear returns today, along with a new tongue-tie, and she's one to consider.
