3 yo Filly

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden after nine starts but she's been beaten less than 2l in handicaps at Southwell (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) in her last two runs; seems tactically versatile and should go well again back on Tapeta.

Retains some ability but consistency isn't her forte; drops in trip and she holds each-way claims at a track she's run well at before.

OR: 57

Form & Verdict
Generally consistent gelding who chased home a handicap blot over C&D on his penultimate run but he was only fifth of six here (9.4f) last Monday and that took his record to 0-14; others preferred.

His win came off 2lb higher here (9.4f) in May but he's not matched that since and has been well below form in his last two runs (1m2f); record now stands at 1-26 and has plenty to prove again with regular headgear removed.

Man Made Of Smoke

9st 3lb

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: David Evans

21st attempt when off the mark on Wolverhampton Tapeta (9.4f) in May off 2lb higher; has raced freely, so perhaps recent ventures over 1m2f have not been ideal, but he does not look the percentage call.

20/1

Form: 090-41

3 yo Gelding

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Found plenty of improvement in his second handicap when justifying support at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) 11 days ago; that was a four-runner race but a 3lb rise for that convincing win looks fair and he's open to more progress back on Tapeta; big player.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in three 6f novice events but he kicked off his handicap career with a near miss on the step up to 1m at Kempton (22-1) 12 days ago; that was in a bunch-finish but he's on same mark here and has claims if he can confirm that promise.

Eight-race maiden who has some encouraging AW form; gelded prior to creditable fourth in Lingfield classified race (1m4f) last time; possibilities if he takes well to first-time headgear on turf debut.

Struggled in three 6f novice events but she went very close on her handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last month and was runner-up again in a 1m3f classified event there (Dafyre third) last time; open to more progress on this drop back in trip and she's a key player off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising start in handicaps when a close third at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) ten days ago but she failed to build on that when a well-held third of six there on Friday; still lightly raced but she didn't find a great deal last time and needs to resume her progress.

Finished down the field at big prices in three novice events, most recently when tenth of 13 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; 80-1) last month; this unexposed filly is a half-sister to a 1m AW winner but she needs a transformation upped to this trip on handicap debut.

Down the field at 125-1 in three maiden/novice events since October, including a tailed-off effort here (9.4f) last time; still early days and now switches to a handicap but she needs a transformation.
