Form & Verdict
Has only won once but in first-time blinkers he finished with a rattle to go close at Goodwood last week (5f, good); won't be far away with a repeat, though unraced on softer than good and has bypassed a soft-ground date previously.

J: Laura Pearson

T: Shaun Harris

Ended his time with Amanda Perrett by refusing to race twice and he repeated the antics in one racecourse visit for Ian McInnes in December; has not beaten a rival in three runs for new yard; may come good off a lowly mark with headgear returned but can't be supported with confidence.

Refused to race in last three races last season; hasn't repeated that since, but hasn't shown any worthwhile form this year either (twice slowly away after blindfold taken off late); others stronger.

Form & Verdict
Wolverhampton winner at 6f and 5f; under 2l away back there last time despite pulling very hard and he can handle downhill tracks; headgear sported for last three runs is left off and that shouldn't be too damaging.

J: Saffie Osborne

Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.

Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time.

Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now.

Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Grace Harris

Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles.

Form & Verdict
Poor strike-rate of 1-32 but he very nearly doubled his tally at Yarmouth on his penultimate start (5f, good to firm; has soft-ground form if going back far enough); too free when only fifth of six back there next time.

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer.

Form & Verdict
Better strike-rate on AW and he weakened right out of it on his latest turf start at Brighton 23 days ago, since when he's changed yards (same owners); others preferred.

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win.
