Form & Verdict
Not obviously well treated following 7f win at Wetherby in June (good to firm; first-time blinkers) but he didn't curl up over 1m at Thirsk recently (hood added) and looks a solid contender at this level.

Front-runner who is not as good as he was but ran okay to be beaten 2l over 1m in a classified race last time; expect a very positive ride back at 7f.

Front-runner who's regressed sharply and again pulled hard when well fancied on his first crack at 0-50 classified company last time; needs to settle better back up from 7f.

Form & Verdict
Won two of first three 7f starts after a hood was fitted (on good to soft and good); has to prove stamina for new trip and latest run at Newbury wasn't one of his better efforts but still in the reckoning for an uncompetitive race.

Form & Verdict
Maiden who doesn't usually find much in handicaps at about 1m and 7f; slipping down the weights and does at least have experience on this track but the return to further raises questions, even if leaving off the cheekpieces proves helpful.

Has taken off in recent weeks, making it four wins in a row (the last three under Tommie Jakes) when fending off another in-form filly (pair clear) at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; steps up in grade and trip here but further progress can't be discounted.

Took a while to get off the mark but now on a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) and Lingfield (7f; Sixties Chic third) last month; the latter success came under today's rider Tommie Jakes; another good runs is on the cards.

Form & Verdict
Started season with two novice wins at about 7f (good to soft and good to firm); fair fifth in a higher grade at Newmarket in August (checked in run) and although he didn't run to the same level at Doncaster since he has a good run in him on the earlier form.

Form & Verdict
Best form of 2023 when beating four rivals in minor 1m Brighton maiden in June (good to firm; first-time hood, retained); respectable fifth of eight back over 7f at Newmarket since and while not obviously ahead of her mark she should have a part to play over this longer trip.

Was becoming disappointing given the promise she showed at two but she settled better in the hood at Brighton (1m, good to firm) and came through to win well; 4lb rise fair and dropping back to 7f shouldn't bother her.
