Form & Verdict
Similar form on first four starts (1m4f/1m3f) without making a serious impact; 28-1 for handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) 17 days ago but that was a voided race; considered given this looks such a weak race.

Form & Verdict
1-12 on the Flat for Tom Ward, the win gained in 1m4f AW handicap here in June and she also suggested later that she would stay beyond 1m5f; changed hands for 12,000gns and made a muted start for new yard in a 2m maiden hurdle but she should be more potent back here.

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won at Salisbury (1m6f) in May and Catterick (2m) in June; not discredited on next two starts but tailed off on heavy at Bath on latest; only four AW races, including two thirds at Kempton early in 2022, form that would not normally be good enough but he clearly needs a close look in this line-up.

2m winner in this sphere; stayer on the Flat; not disgraced over C&D (good) returned to hurdles but his effort rather petered out after pulling hard; chance partly depends on whether he settles better.

Form & Verdict
Third of seven in one outing in France (1m, heavy) in May but he's been towards rear in all three starts (Tapeta) for this yard; latest was handicap debut over 9.4f and he now has a big step up in trip plus tongue-tie and cheekpieces.
