Form & Verdict
Made a successful nursery debut at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) late last year and has run well on a couple of occasions since; the step up to 1m6f on heavy ground appeared to find him out at Sandown last time and this should be more suitable, but he hasn't always looked the easiest.

Form & Verdict
Looked quite useful when winning a pair of AW novices over 1m4f at the start of the year but has been well held in both starts over the same trip on turf (good to soft/soft); may be capable of better on a firmer surface but still has something to prove for now.

Two-time AW novice winner who returned to form when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) recently; this is tougher but he hung last time so could be better suited by this flat track, and his pedigree provides hope he'll improve for the step up in trip; no surprise to see another good run.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in her first four starts, winning a Bath maiden (1m2f, firm) in May and a Hamilton handicap (1m3f, good to soft) the following month; bit disappointing when only fourth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected if the first-time cheekpieces help get her back on track.
