Form & Verdict
Having been gelded and fitted with cheekpieces he left his previous form behind when beaten half a length by Bradman at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) on Monday and when second of seven at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) on Wednesday, albeit hanging all over the place last time; runs off 3lb higher but could go well if proving more amenable now in blinkers.

9.4f was too short on penultimate start and his third over 1m4f at Lingfield two days ago was much more like it; needs some riding and has worn a variety of equipment; record in his eight handicaps this year includes four seconds and just one win but he will probably end up thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins over 1m4f on Tapeta, the latest when beating Something To Do by half a length at Wolverhampton on Monday; at the top of his game, but a 6lb penalty and shorter trip on a faster track do pose a question.

Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Best of her three starts to date when third of nine in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, Tapeta) 17 days ago; shouldn't have a problem with the longer trip on breeding and open to further progress now handicapping.

Raised her game again this season, including a Doncaster handicap win (1m4f, good); appeared to show improved form again in Listed race last time, which can be questioned as she was a never-dangerous sixth of seven at 25-1 but her mark is unchanged.

Readily saw off her five rivals in a Doncaster handicap (1m4f, good) last month and turned in another solid effort behind Santorini Star at Goodwood latest; it's hard to see why the tables would be turned on these terms though.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in three starts over 6f/7f last year before finishing fourth of six on his handicap debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) last month; shaped then as though further would suit and form boosted by the subsequent wins of the first and third; major player.

In the frame in four of his seven starts including when second of six at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; races off the same mark and cheekpieces now given a go, but the form of that latest race isn't really working out and this trip looked too far at Chelmsford on his penultimate outing.
