Form & Verdict
Not ideally positioned before producing some good late work to finish in midfield at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in a maiden won by last week's Chesham third; that was promising and he's one to bear in mind.

Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort.

Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden.

J: Alistair Rawlinson

Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to three winning sprinters; 25-1 when a 5l fifth of eight runners at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and he'll need to step up plenty on that form.

Often placed before getting off the mark in a C&D novice in January; two 6f handicap runs since returning from a three-month break have been underwhelming; back up in trip and down in class so there could be a bigger effort forthcoming.

Didn't need to improve to land Lingfield novice in January (led and held on gamely over 7f); soft ground a possible excuse when running no race off a break last time.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Both runs on good to firm at Hamilton, appreciating the step up to 6f when beating four rivals three weeks ago; penalised for winning an ordinary race but this also has little depth to it.

Took him a while to get off the mark, but he eventually scored over 7f at Chelmsford (AW) and Brighton (good) in May; still 5lb higher than for the latest of those, but good to soft ground may not have suited at Ffos Las (1m) last time and possibilities if he can bounce back.
