Serial hard-puller who hung right and made her move very wide over 1m6f here a month ago; that was a decent effort in the circumstances and she's one to consider for a trainer who won a division of this last season.

Dual turf winner; went very close at Bath (11.5f, good to firm) on stable debut in September but she's been well held in both runs this season and latest was over 1m6f at Bath; now takes another step up in trip but she has questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Maiden after six runs and may not be straightforward but has some stamina in his pedigree and shaped as though today's step up in trip will suit when second of five at Lingfield (1m2f) this month; 1lb lower here and can pose a potent threat if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in 6f Wolverhampton novice on recent stable debut and is not bred to run over this far but he's completely unexposed and good market support would bring him into the equation; tongue-tie added.

Has improved since switched to handicaps on the AW, making it sixth-time lucky at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago; 4lb higher and needs to prove he can do it back on turf, but comes into this in good heart so has to make the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten at triple-digit odds in four novice/maiden races as 2yo (7f-1m) but is out of a half-sister to 1m4f Listed winner and wouldn't be the first one from his stable to leave unispiring 2yo form behind once switched to middle-distance handicaps as a 3yo; blinkered first time.

Verdict

It won’t be a surprise if today’s hike up in trip prompts considerable improvement from Wilpena Pound on his handicap debut but THE PUG shaped as though his turn might be near when second at Lingfield recently and is given the vote. You Saw Brigadoon will be feared if lively in the betting.[Chris Wilson]
