Form & Verdict
Perhaps not the strongest of Doncaster novice events that she won on her debut last month (6f, good) but she created a positive impression and should have learned plenty from the experience; top-class pedigree and open to improvement; interesting she's being kept to 6f given her pedigree (bred to stay at least 1m); promising.

Well-bred filly who created a positive impression in winning 6f novice events on her first two starts (good and good to firm); not really bred to sprint but the step up to 7f didn't help on her handicap debut in September, tanking through the race but her finishing effort lacked punch; surely capable of winning races off this mark and returning to 6f in what should be a well-run affair can see her feature prominently.

Looked a smart prospect at Doncaster on debut and although she didn't win as comfortably as her odds-on supporters might have wished for at Windsor last month, she will have learned plenty from that messy race; 7f looks sure to suit and an opening mark of 80 could greatly underestimate her.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed in a 7f handicap at Ascot 16 days ago (good to soft); perhaps the ground wasn't ideal there and he had earlier run to a useful level in maiden/novice events over 7f and 1m; shouldn't be far away if the drop to sprinting sparks something extra.

Took a while to get off the mark but he's making up for lost time, ending his 3yo campaign with two 6f wins and completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton on his reappearance last month; had subsequent winners back in third and fifth last time and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair; major player again back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Beaten at odds-on at Newcastle on his racecourse debut (6f) and probably didn't have to improve on that runner-up effort to win a 6f novice at Kempton 137 days ago (tongue-tied for the first time); open to improvement and a wind operation since last seen could help matters; solid contender.

Won his novice here over 6f (first-time tongue-tie that's been retained since) but he dropped to last on final start at Windsor and now goes handicapping off what's probably a harsh mark; cheekpieces added on first run over 7f.

Improved on his belated debut effort (7f, soft) when finishing second of 11 at Salisbury a fortnight ago (6f, good); that was a race before which Primeval, who was 2-11 favourite at the time, was withdrawn having lost a shoe on the way to post; can do better but he'll need to.
