Has improved with each of his four runs and won five-runner nursery at Newbury last time (6f, good to soft; Count Palatine close second); could continue to progress for top yard and he's a solid contender.

Placed effort over C&D in July is flanked by stiffer assignments over 7f at Royal Ascot (Chesham) and Glorious Goodwood (nursery); may be capable of progress back down in trip/grade; interesting.

Versatile ground-wise and all four wins have been at 7f on turf; his mixed record this season but he wasn't beaten far at Ayr (1m) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his last success; not ruled out back in trip.

All four wins have been at 7f but he hasn't had many chances at this trip, over which he ran third on his penultimate start at Carlisle; had a break since a bad run in June and has possibilities.

Looks a possible improver as last two efforts (5f/7f) suggest this 6f trip may prove his optimum; one to consider on only his second nursery attempt.

Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off.

She has won over C&D but better known for her 5f exploits more recently; ran well at Windsor in July but failed to fire at Chepstow four weeks ago (her tenth course run but reportedly unsuited by the undulations of the track); others make more appeal.

Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well.
