Form & Verdict
140,000gns half-brother to six winners; no impact in his three runs so far but his best effort was a third of six on heavy ground at Nottingham; now takes another step up in trip but his useful dam won over 1m4f and he should have a future in handicaps; needs close look for in-form yard.

4yo who has failed to progress this year but he got back on track with a nose second of six to High Point over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.

Won two 3yo handicaps last spring (1m4f, soft) and ran well in defeat on first two starts this season (2m, good/AW); disappointing at Ascot (2m, good) last time but holds each-way possibilities if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising start with his close third at Newcastle (1m) in February but he's not gone on from that and was beaten 18l at Southwell last time; still early days and has stamina in his pedigree but he needs a transformation upped in trip on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Left her 7f debut form well behind when justifying support with a strong-finishing effort at Kempton (1m3f, AW) 12 days ago; this is a different test on this switch to turf but her dam won on soft ground and she's open to more progress on her handicap debut; key player.

Winner of a 1m3f maiden at Kempton last April; failed to kick on for a switch to handicapping (mostly turf); faded at Lingfield (1m2f; 33-1) five weeks ago but is entitled to strip fitter for that - her first run since June - and a further 2lb ease in the weights is helpful; chance.

Form & Verdict
Big improvement on second start when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in January but he's been beaten around 13l in a Kempton novice and Newcastle handicap since (both at 1m4f); blinkers are now added and has something to prove on this switch to turf.

Didn't show a great deal on debut but different proposition at Southwell (1m3f, sole run on Tapeta) 20 days later, winning a seven-runner novice; well below that level back at Kempton latest but perhaps this return to Tapeta will turn things around again; also tries headgear on this handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Some promising efforts on turf last year but his form has been a bit up and down so far and he was well held at Wolverhampton (8.6f; cheekpieces added) on return last month; record now stands at 0-7 and he has stamina to prove on this big step up in trip.

20-race maiden but hasn't been far away on last two starts, latest when hemmed in against the far rail when fourth of nine at Musselburgh (1m, good) 13 days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark and holds place claims at least.

Form & Verdict
Won at Sandown (7f, heavy) on his debut but he's been very disappointing in four runs since including when tailed off here (1m2f, soft) on his return last month; dropped another 3lb but he needs a major turnaround with headgear added at this new trip.
