Form & Verdict
Delivered on earlier promise when winning from the front on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; should cope with today's return to turf and, given his tendency to race freely, today's drop in trip could be a good move.

Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added.

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame on first four starts, perhaps most notably when close second in Pontefract novice (6f, good to firm) on third occasion; found valuable 6f nursery at Glorious Goodwood far too hot six weeks ago and is not sure to be suited by today's drop back in trip but has sights lowered here and enters calculations.

Two front-running C&D wins in seven days in September; less good here 13 days ago and a new visor replaces the cheekpieces she has worn on last four runs; others appeal more.

Record over C&D reads 311, both wins coming after cheekpieces were applied; latest third of nine at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) was another good effort (runner-up has won since) and respected back here after a short break.

Form & Verdict
Came good with comfortable 5f maiden success at Chepstow (good to firm) in June but seems to have had limitations exposed since; will find this easier than valuable Sunday Series nursery in which she finished down the field last month but still needs help from the first-time blinkers.

Well beaten over 6f on first two starts but belied 200-1 odds when keeping on for very respectable fourth of ten at Bath (5f, good) three weeks ago; interesting to see whether he can take another step forward on today's nursery debut.

Yet to kick on from his Goodwood maiden win (5f, good) in June but recovered from sluggish start to take never-dangerous fourth in deeper race than this at Sandown (5f, good) last month and is another 2lb lower today.

Runner-up over C&D in June on second start then went one better in Goodwood maiden (5f); however, he's been unplaced in 6f nurseries the last twice and needs to raise his game if he's to win this; unraced on slow ground.
