Form & Verdict
Showed some ability when fifth of ten at Goodwood (6f, good to firm; 200-1) on third start but proved virtually uncontrollable early on when tailed off on nursery debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; hood is now given a go but she's hard to recommend her after that latest performance.

Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off.

J: James Glennon

T: Rachel Cook & John Bridger

Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark in a Hamilton maiden (5f, good to firm) in June but the form hasn't worked out and he was well beaten in the Windsor Castle next time; possible to forgive that effort, but less so his nursery debut at York (5f, good to soft) where he finished tailed off after hanging badly left; solid chance if bouncing back, but risky.

Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though.

9st 8lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Form & Verdict
Twice runner-up in four starts, including at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in June, but well beaten in his other two outings as when last of nine at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; returning tongue-tie is joined by cheekpieces on nursery debut and his best form would give him a chance, but not quite sure what to expect.

0-8, but placed six times as when beaten just over a length into second of eight behind Bazball over C&D (first-time blinkers) in August; now 7lb better off, but hasn't progressed in two outings since whereas his old rival has stepped up again; another placing may be his best hope.

Seven defeats include two nurseries and, although in form, he's not progressing; looks vulnerable.

Couple of fair efforts in nurseries since headgear went on but he's exposed and has plenty more on his plate today; would have been 15lb better off with Instant Recall in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
All three starts in 6f novices; improved from his debut when third of 11 at Lingfield (AW) in June (runner-up has won since) and ran to a similar level when beaten just over 2l into sixth of 13 at Windsor (good) last month; isn't short of early speed, so the drop in trip may suit now switched to a nursery; respected.
