Progressive in three starts on over 7f turf/Polytrack last autumn, culminating in fourth of ten at Newmarket (good); gelded the following month and now makes his handicap debut after five months off; extra furlong should suit and looks the type with more to offer this year.

Made all when successful on reappearance/handicap debut here (1m) in March but well beaten in four starts since returning from another break in August; not the biggest surprise were he to bounce back in first-time visor.

Font-runner who made all when making a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March, but twice well held on turf since; of some interest back on the AW, though he may not be left alone in front.

Form & Verdict
Newbury novice winner (6f, good) last summer, but disappointed on nursery debut at Goodwood; ran better when third of five at Sandown (7f, good) on his final outing and now makes his AW debut after seven months off; step up to 1m should suit and respected, especially if market positive.

The drop to sprinting didn't help at Lingfield 13 days ago, weakening in the straight; blinkers return today but there is other pace on show and he's got too much to prove for comfort.

Won a 2yo novice at Newbury on his third run for Richard Hannon (6f, good); winless at three but he ran some good races off much higher marks than this; hasn't lasted home over further in two Class 4 events for new yard this season; may fare better sprinting but he's not a solid option.

Form & Verdict
Gradually got the hang of things in four starts last year and was unlucky not to finish closer when third of 11 on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m1f, soft) in October; gelded soon afterwards and now returns from 138 days off; is a half-brother to a French AW winner, but not sure the drop in trip is what he needs.

Gelded after four defeats last season when progressive; failed to justify favouritism on his return at Chelmsford (1m AW) but it was by no means a bad run and both this surface and the longer trip could benefit.

sweating, mounted in chute and taken down early, took keen hold, in touch with leaders, not clear run from 2f out, pushed along and kept on final 110yds, went third final strides (jockey said colt was denied clear run inside the final furlong)

Form & Verdict
Progressed in her first four starts last year, culminating in winning a Beverley maiden (7f, good to firm) in August; probably flying a bit high when held in Listed company at Salisbury on her final start and now makes her handicap/AW debut after seven months off; half-sister to a triple Polytrack winner so she is well worth a second look.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise when third of seven on her Newcastle debut (7f, Tapeta) last September and, after having got upset in the stalls there next time, returned to form when fourth of 11 at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; longer trip not a problem on handicap debut and the only one of these with a recent run against her name.

All five runs have been on AW, best when off the mark in tidy style in a seven-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m) three months ago when last seen; up 4lb for this turf debut but probably has more to offer.

Made a promising start when third at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last September but she's not kicked on from that and was last of five on her handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; that was behind an all-the-way winner in a tactical race but she still has quite a bit to prove here.
