Form & Verdict
He didn't have to improve to win a 5f Chelmsford maiden in September but he did take a step forward when a close third at Southwell on his handicap debut 13 days ago, quickest through the middle part of the race and just tying up late on; remains capable of better.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Peter Crate

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Nothing like the force of old but he won at Lingfield in May and has been bang there at Newbury and Brighton (beaten a nose) on both starts since, all over about 5f on good to firm; should go well again.

Useful 3yo who's come back to form since dropped to 5f on turf, minus the blinkers, following up his Lingfield win off 3lb lower with a solid effort at Newbury; needs considering but wants a proper test at this trip and a bigger field would have helped.

Form & Verdict
Had some useful 5f form this summer; returned from a break with a solid second at Chelmsford last month but he took his form to the next level when easily landing a 6f nursery at Southwell five weeks ago; that form has been repeatedly boosted and although this will be tougher up 6lb, he's unexposed at the trip and has more to come.

He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor.

C&D record reads 131, the defeat coming behind Emperor Spirit in this race last year; 5lb lower than for his last win and although he's yet to really shine this year, the booking of Oisin Murphy is notable; contender with frequent cheekpieces now discarded.

Form & Verdict
He has made a nonsense his opening handicap mark this winter, landing a gamble over 7f here in November (7f; excellent Topspeed figure for the grade) and winning his next two nurseries over C&D without breaking sweat (sent off at 1-3 and 1-5); 8lb rise for his latest win doesn't look excessive and he's a leading contender once again.

Untroubled to win his first three handicaps and now only 1lb higher than for the last of those; hasn't looked in the same form since being gelded in February, although soft ground was perhaps no help at Chester and the tongue-tie he tried there is swiftly removed.

Form & Verdict
Won his first two handicaps, both over C&D, and although he seems to have plateaued since his latest run (behind Huberts Dream) was a bit better than the bare figures would suggest; well up to winning off this mark but perhaps in a less-demanding handicap; blinkers replace usual visor today.

Form & Verdict
Little indication of what was to follow when he failed to beat a rival in three runs last summer, earning a BHA mark of 45 in the process; he hasn't looked back since being gelded and switched to nurseries, winning five time from 5f to 7f, recording a new peak RPR of 84 here (7f; first-time hood) last week; he's 13lb higher as a result and this is a much stronger race but quite possible he hasn't reached his ceiling just yet.

Generally struggled for this yard last year but he's become more realistically treated again now; last month's Newcastle reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but he has done his winning on AW and has something to prove on slow turf.
