Form & Verdict
May not be straightforward but began career with two very promising AW runs (1m/8.6f) and was not discredited when well-held third in valuable Sandown novice (1m2f, good to soft; first-time visor) on turf debut three weeks ago; ought to play a major role here.

J: Jack Mitchell

Close third behind Starshiba and Miami Thunder in similar event over C&D when last seen ten weeks ago, doing well considering he perhaps didn't have the ideal track position; gelded since (hasn't always looked straightforward); retains low mileage and may do better still; possibilities.

Maiden winner who ran poorly on his handicap debut at Chester (1m2f) but got back on track with a close third at Newcastle (1m); gelded since and Buick is booked, so one to consider.

Didn't need to improve on earlier efforts to win a 1m maiden at Ayr last month (made all as the 2-7 favourite); ran poorly at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; better than that but he needs to bounce back quickly; visor off.

Made the frame on both 2yo starts and posted another good effort when close second at Southwell (1m, AW) last month; will be fine back on fast turf and probably still has potential; leading contender.

Has made the frame on all four starts in maiden/novice events, although Tajawal was merely pushed out to see him off quite comfortably at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last time and not sure a 6lb swing in the weights is enough for him to reverse those placings.

Showed the benefit of her debut run in June (1m, good to firm) when making all in a 6f novice at Carlisle (good to soft) two weeks later on final start for Keith Dalgleish; not disgraced under a penalty at Thirsk (7f, good) for new yard in August and she brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut.

Hold-up performer who needs things to fall right but they did just that when he surged home in a good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; up 5lb but not impossibly treated on last season's best and the return to 5f won't be a negative.
