Form & Verdict
Sea The Moon filly who made a promising start at Newbury (third of seven) last month and built on that when going close in another 1m2f novice at Bath (good to soft) three weeks ago; was strong at the finish in that race and that form puts her firmly in the picture here; interesting contender.

Registered a hat-trick in good-ground handicaps at Lingfield (1m2f), Pontefract (1m4f) and Chester (10.3f) this May/June; however, Listed race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; 10-1) on latest start saw a heavy defeat.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Ralph Beckett

Form figures of 32122111, defying a 6lb rise when completing a handicap hat-trick in cosy fashion at Chester (extended 1m2f) three weeks ago; a fair bit more will be needed now stepping up in class but she can't be discounted as a thriving sort from a leading stable; has raced only on good or softer.

Form & Verdict
Has been generally progressive in her four starts and her latest sixth of 13 at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) was behind a subsequent Listed winner; this well-bred filly is still unexposed but she needs to find more improvement.

Consistent rather than progressive over 1m4f and 1m2f on turf and AW this year and will probably need extra to win now tackling this trip back on Polytrack.

Up to winning races judged on the steady improvement she's made, last time always handy at Kempton (1m4f) before weakening late on; handicaps may be a better option now.

Five wins and a second from her six races since joining Marcus Tregoning, all 1m2f-1m4f handicaps on good or good to firm (withdrawn from recent engagements when it was soft or heavy); the last three wins were in very small fields but there's no doubt she's improving.

Form & Verdict
Both runs have been over 1m2f at Newmarket (good); finished last of ten on his debut in April but he left that form miles behind when going close on the July Course two months later; left Jane Chapple-Hyam for 130,000gns since; returns from another break but he just about the standard and is open to more progress for new yard.
