Form & Verdict
Triple winner (1m-1m2f), including a game front-running success at Ripon (good) in May, but he's not easy to predict and has weakened in his last three runs; comes with risks attached and he needs to get back near best.

Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
5yo mare who has form figures of 331132 on turf this season and she rallied when when finishing second at Haydock (7f) last time; all of those runs were on slow ground but she's effective on good to firm and this step back up in trip is no problem; respected.

Form & Verdict
Won on his seasonal/stable debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in June but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his last three runs; goes back up in trip and down in grade but he's not easy to predict and others are more convincing.

Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty.

Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away.

Inconsistent seven-race maiden; couldn't sustain his effort when seventh at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but he was only just caught at this track (1m1f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he should be fine back at this trip; first-time cheekpieces.

Eight-race maiden; suggested his turn might be near when second under very positive ride at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in July but two lesser efforts have followed, the latter after he raced too freely in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); has a point to prove.

Form & Verdict
Back to form over 7f in a visor, with front-running wins in a seller and claimer at Leicester last October but he's not been seen since; handles most ground but he has more to do back in a handicap on his return and doesn't have a great record when fresh; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.
