Form & Verdict
Has not looked entirely straightforward but once visored he was a well-held second behind the Britannia winner at Ascot in May (1m, soft) and it was a good handicap he contested at Sandown won by the Cambridgeshire favourite Greek Order; off since May but should be going very close at this level.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Hugo Palmer

He has done well since dropped to sprint trips, winning two 6f handicaps on AW (one C&D) in January; career best when second over C&D in May and he ran another good race when second in the Gosforth Park Cup eight weeks ago; 1lb lower today and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.

T: Hugo Palmer

Won twice over 6f on the AW in January, the latest of those off 9lb lower here; has run well the last twice, including when second of 14 back here (6f) last month, but this is a tough race in which to have his first go at 5f.

Form & Verdict
310,000gns yearling; massive shout on her third at Newmarket (7f, good) in April but not so clever in two soft-ground runs either side of that, as it wasn't strong form last time at Thirsk; still hard to knock at this level provided she's ready for business after a long time out.

310,000gns yearling; massive shout on her third at Newmarket (7f, good) in April and perhaps not suited by soft ground on her three other defeats, especially last time at Chester when conditions were really testing; considered.

Showed a bit more when sixth at Kempton (1m) but an RPR of 65 indicates limitations here.

J: Rossa Ryan

Not disgraced in last year's Northern Dancer over C&D (good; likely softer) on sole start here; also won twice at Ascot (good to firm) last term; back to form on last two starts, latterly when beaten 2l at Musselburgh (also 1m4f, good) on Sunday; should make his presence felt.

Won off just 1lb lower at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last August, his second win there last year; 0-12 on AW but close third on latest start (first with tongue tied) was up with his best form; should go well.
