Form & Verdict
Won a Carlisle novice (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run last term and he kicked off this season with a close call in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; nudged up 2lb but he went down fighting under a positive ride last time and is open to more progress; big player.

One of three runners for this yard; scored over 1m2f at Chester in May and largely consistent otherwise this term, most recently second at Beverley (upped to 1m4f; good) last Saturday; appears likely to go well again.

Can make the running; won on good to firm as 2yo; also scored at Chester in May and best form when runner-up at Redcar and Ripon on his last two starts, all over 1m2f on good; has a competitive mark but some of his rivals are less exposed.

Form & Verdict
Had record of 22122 on AW in his first five starts and that latest second was a near miss in a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) last month; well held on turf debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago but he ran into trouble before rallying in the closing stages; needs to step up again here but he still has potential and is a half-brother to seven winners.

7f AW novice winner; runner-up in four of his five handicaps, including C&D last month; got going too late over 1m at Doncaster since and the return to further should suit, as could more severe headgear (first-time blinkers for cheekpieces); unlikely to be far away.

Form & Verdict
Showed plenty of promise upped to 1m when runner-up in a Haydock novice (good to soft) in her final 2yo run; well held on handicap/seasonal debut at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) but she couldn't get any cover out wide and may have needed that run; still has untapped potential and she should have a future in middle-distance handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Exposed with a record of 2-13 but his last win was at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he finished well to go close behind an odds-on rival at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 1lb higher than last time and is versatile ground-wise; respected.

Form & Verdict
£125,000 yearling; showed plenty of promise with his placed efforts over 7f at Newmarket and Salisbury last summer but he's not been at the same level on AW (8.6f) and turf (1m2f) in his last two runs; still unexposed and soft ground may have been an issue on his recent return but he needs improvement on this switch to a handicap; cheekpieces added.

Showed plenty of promise when placed in both starts over 7f last summer, but hasn't built on it as when fifth of eight in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Chester (1m2f, good) last time; plenty of stamina on the dam's side, but he needs to step up.

J: William Buick

T: Richard Hughes

£125,000 yearling; had three runs last season and he didn't really fire at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October but he sets a good standard on his close second at Salisbury (7f) last summer; looks a big player if he can recapture that form after another break and he's bred to stay this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Has shown promise in novice events (1m/1m2f) this spring, including when a 3l sixth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) two weeks ago; looks feasibly treated on his peak form and he should have more to offer now handicapping back up in trip; one to keep an eye on.

Some promise in novice events (best form on second outing) but failed to make an impact on handicap debut at Chester (1m2f, good) 18 days ago; slow start that day didn't help and maybe the track was against him, but a more positive show would have been needed in order to latch on to him here.

No great shakes on the Flat and the form of his Sedgefield win (narrowly on good) isn't mindblowing form; however, was ridden more patiently than An Bradan Feasa when 6l off that rival in Grade 2 here last month (on soft) and a mistake at the last flight didn't aid his cause; looks a key player.
