Form & Verdict
Disappointing favourite on a fast surface at Haydock (6f) last time; has otherwise shown clear promise in two soft-ground contests over 5f, notably when solid second here; major chance on that form, underfoot conditions aside.

Has only a Chester novice to show for his eight runs but it was a very strong handicap at York (6f) in which he finished seventh of 16 last time; goes on soft ground and can see him having a say if staying this new trip.

Pushed out to beat 14 rivals in 6f maiden on fast ground at Leicester last week, a promising start to his career; open to progress and looks a major contender if coping with this sharper course.

Just one win to his name from 21 starts; chance on this summer's best efforts but his last two runs have been over 1m1f and 1m2f and he now drops to sprinting; others are safer.

Encouraging debut in maiden at York's Dante festival (6f, good to firm), keeping on for fourth of ten; gave the impression he may ideally need further but has possibilities if building on the promise.

Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider.

Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities.

Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip.

11-race maiden but he has run encouraging races over C&D on his last two starts, latterly second of 12 in this grade 19 days ago (form boosted by the winner); could still have more to offer.

Solid third at Ascot (5f, soft) in a race that is working out well, then contributed to that strong form by justifying favouritism in 14-runner field at Thirsk (6f, good to firm); respected with further improvement on the cards.

Hard-pulling front-runner who can go to her right; her two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks but the drop back from 6f looks in her favour and she'd be a player if able to dictate with a rail on her off-side.
