Form & Verdict
Not obviously thrown in on the form he showed in three 2yo runs (7f to 1m1f) but he's been gelded since last time and his pedigree points to better over this sort of trip (by Sea The Stars out of a 1m4f Listed winner).

Both wins have been over this trip on AW and running consistently well on turf of late; no problems with the switch back to AW and he has more in his favour than most.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise in novice/maiden runs last season, notably a close sixth at Ascot on his second start; no real progress for the switch to handicaps this winter and he now faces a big step up in trip; others appeal more.

3yo who is 0-12 but, having edged down the weights, he ran well when third on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) on Monday; that was his first run since July and he could have more to offer for this yard.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Similar form in three 2yo runs in the autumn (7f-1m2f); by Dandy Man but plenty of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping over middle distances.

Yet to win in 19 starts under either code but he ran well when third here (1m4f) in February off a 3lb higher mark; less good since and others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two 6f events for Michael Bell last summer; low-key stable/handicap debut at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (extended 1m1f; first-time tongue-tie) and now upped further in trip; cheekpieces added and tongue-tie left off this time.

J: Lewis Edmunds

This is his third start for his third trainer; ran well in 1m2f handicaps (on soft/good to soft) on last two outings but he looks exposed compared to some of these and needs some improvement to get off the mark.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps flattered by his standout effort at Goodwood in October in a steadily run race (1m1f, good to soft) but he's bred to stay well and middle-distance handicaps were always likely to prove more suitable; gelded since last seen; potential improver.
