Form & Verdict
Won a turf seller for Jack Channon and a Polytrack nursery for Charlie Hills this summer, both over 5f; two good runs for new connections, notably a second of ten in a 6f nursery at Wolverhampton last month (good Topspeed figure); stable going along nicely and he's a key player once again.

Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind.

Form & Verdict
Consistent rather than progressive for James Tate, winning at Newmarket on debut but unable to add to his tally since; promising start for his new stable at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, travelling nicely under restraint but unable to pick up two more prominently-ridden rivals; may well reverse those placings with Cotai Vision.

Progressive last season when his two successes included the 3yo Dash on Derby day; missed the first half of this season and might have needed his first two runs back, never-dangerous fourth of ten at Haydock on latest; raced only at 5f but may now be ready for this step up in distance; still relatively low mileage and not ruled out.

Progressive for Gemma Tutty last season, winning the 3yo Dash on Derby day and posting a personal best when beating nine rivals in this contest (just 1lb higher today) 12 months ago; weak in the market and might have needed the run after over ten months off when only sixth of eight here on reappearance; big player if building on that.
