Form & Verdict
Has improved plenty since returning in handicaps over this trip, finishing second of 17 at Newbury (good; first start since being gelded) last month and going one better in good style at Chelmsford (AW) eight days ago (first two pulled well clear); still 3lb well in under his penalty and major claims with the likelihood of further improvement.

T: Ralph Beckett

Progressive 3yo who is on a four-timer after three 1m2f wins, on AW, over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (good); didn't do anything in a hurry at the latter track and longer trips may well suit later but a truly run race would be a big help and he has scope for better.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability when fourth of seven at Ascot (1m, good) on her second start as a 2yo, but finished tailed off on her Newmarket return (1m4f, good) last month; makes her handicap debut in cheekpieces, but she needs to put that latest effort well behind her.

Limited promise in three starts over 6f last summer, but having been off for nine months he showed much more when a close third of nine on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, not enjoying the clearest of runs; still open to further progress.

In the frame in all three handicaps, most recently when close second to Racing Demon at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; stumbled leaving stalls) last month; nudged up another 1lb for that but has big role to play here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Has proved consistent since handicapping, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt at Bath (1m2f, good) last month and beaten less than a length under her penalty over the same C&D (firm) nine days later; much more exposed than her rivals, but likely to run her race again and can prove the main threat to Lucky Fifteen.

The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track.

Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap.

Successful off a mark of 70 in C&D handicap on penultimate start, taking Goodwood record to 3-4; return to this venue is a plus but she has easily the worst chance at the weights upped in class.

Only made his debut in April, but hasn't shown much and achieved little when beaten over 12l into third of four on handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last time; in good hands, but he needs the cheekpieces to make a difference.

Chequered career since close up in C&D novice as a 3yo but there has been the odd bit of encouragement and the drop in grade paid off when rallying to retake the lead inside the final furlong at Wolverhampton (1m4f; cheekpieces refitted) last month; should go well again.

Promising third behind the subsequent Fred Darling winner at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) in one start as a 2yo, but hasn't figured in three outings since returning last month; needs the switch to a handicap and application of a hood to make a difference, while there are mixed messages in her pedigree with the regards to the 3f longer trip.
