Form & Verdict
Made light of a near 12-month absence to win as he liked at Bath (1m2f, good to soft); that has come at a cost with him now 11lb higher, while his two best efforts have been with give underfoot; could still defy all those doubts and go in again.

Form & Verdict
Hit the ground running for this yard with two AW wins late last year (Lingfield 1m2f/1m4f) and has performed to a similar level in both his runs since; had turf form not far behind it last season and likely to be in the thick of it.

Both wins have come on Polytrack (1m2f/1m4f) but he acts on soft ground (ran once on heavy); 0-11 on grass but he may have needed his latest start, when absent three months and representing a new stable; competitive mark judged on best turf/AW efforts.

Form & Verdict
1m2f novice winner on fast ground; could strip fitter for her Ascot return (1m2f, soft) and is highly likely to appreciate these quicker conditions, but the fitting of blinkers after a quiet run has to be a worry.

May have found the trip stretching her when sixth of eight at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; ran well over C&D on her debut, but she doesn't always look the easiest and others look more solid; no headgear today.

1m2f novice winner on fast ground and appreciated the return to quicker conditions when running creditably in defeat in 1m2f handicaps at Leicester and Lingfield in recent months; tackles 1m4f for just a second time; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Progress has stalled since making a successful handicap debut (1m, good) last June, but was slowly away and never ideally placed to land a blow last time at Wetherby (returned to 1m2f); ran well all things considered and William Buick takes over.

Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back.

Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again.

Form & Verdict
Remained a maiden for Richard Hannon (0-4 AW; 7f-1m2f) and was sold on for 30,000gns; gelded and had wind surgery ahead of making his debut for this yard at Nottingham (1m2f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) and he weakened out of it to finish last; potentially on a fair mark and unexposed on this faster surface.
