Form & Verdict
Gelded prior to his improved effort at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm; handicap debut) last month, finishing well and nearly collaring a Prescott improver; faces another likely threat from that yard but holds leading form claims as things stand; respected.

Won well at Southwell two weeks ago; a 4lb rise puts him on a career-high mark but he hasn't had many attempts over this trip, or on Tapeta, and could well be up to the task.

Form & Verdict
Appeared to run well on second start but has regressive RPRs since, the last twice in Class 5 handicaps; this five-race maiden holds weak claims on form and needs the drop in grade to help matters.

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.

0-6; best RPRs came in two AW attempts, including third at Wolverhampton (9.5f); still has something to prove on turf but latest effort (1m2f) suggests this new trip may prompt improvement.

Placed in low-grade handicaps at up to 2m on the Flat and ran well for a long way when upped to 3m for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (heavy); effectively 1lb higher today but might last longer on the less testing ground; dangerous to ignore.

Stablemate of Artisan Dancer; showed ability in middle-distance events on AW, without progressing from first effort; form dipped sharply at Wetherby on turf/handicap debut and has a bit to prove now.

Two wins this year, a 2m4f maiden and 2m Flat handicap; in contention when slipping up after the third last in his latest handicap and this 4yo is unexposed as a jumper.

Form & Verdict
Prescott filly who has taken five races, all at about 7f last year, to get a mark; has not finished closer than midfield but looks very much the type to improve now handicapping and upped in distance; interesting on reappearance, especially if the market speaks favourably.

Form & Verdict
Went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on handicap/seasonal debut; that form lacks strength and he suffered a heavy defeat at Haydock (11.5f, good to soft) since but this drop back to Class 6 may suit.

A model of industry and consistency on the AW and showed he can serve up much the same on turf when third of 15 at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft) on penultimate outing; no show when 66-1 in the Northumberland Plate last time, which was his first appearance above Class 3.

A model of industry and consistency on the AW (denied a clear run on penultimate start) and showed he can serve up much the same on turf on latest outing; effective at this track and at 2m (though usually seen over shorter) but he is 3lb out of the handicap and looks vulnerable.
