Form & Verdict
Looked smart when justifying favouritism in a good-ground novice at Newmarket's Craven meeting last April and was bound for Royal Ascot until injury intervened; not easy to weigh up after 388-day absence but holds a Commonwealth Cup entry and connections evidently still have high hopes for him.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Has good sprinting pedigree and had bit more in hand than narrow margin suggests when winning on debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) last November, having idled when in front; not seen again since but open to any amount of improvement this year.

Form & Verdict
Belied 66-1 odds when third in valuable sales race at last summer's York Ebor meeting (6f, good) and backed up that performance with very respectable sixth in Class 3 handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft) last month; ought to be good enough to win a race of this nature at some point.

Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Ross Burdon

Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; well backed) three weeks ago, reportedly appreciating the return to turf; still has plenty of handicapping scope up 3lb and his new trainer (same owner) has won with two of his last three runners; visor returns today having worn cheekpieces last time.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Out of a fair 7f winner; raced too freely and showed his inexperience on last month's debut at Southwell (6f, AW) but still ran on well to chase home the short-odds winner; needs to build on that performance here but has obvious potential.

Runner-up on debut at Southwell (6f, AW) last April and creditable fourth of six in warm novice at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) the following month; absent since but trainer's horses can go well fresh and he's one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Showed some fair 2yo for for Ralph Beckett, perhaps most notably when third in 5f AW novice at Wolverhampton, but was sold for 16,000gns after two disappointing nursery runs; subsequently gelded; appears to face a tough assignment on today's seasonal/stable debut.
