Form & Verdict
Short-headed on debut last July (good ground) and form figures of 1211 on AW since, including 1m2f and 1m handicaps on Polytrack this month; up another 2lb but steadily improving and highly respected despite having something to prove on what could be a very different surface.

Won a Nottingham handicap over 1m2f on third start last season (good to firm); several good runs without winning after that; lacks a recent run and seems high enough in the ratings at present.

Narrowly made all over C&D in May off 3lb lower; inconsistent since, wearing cheekpieces on last four outings, but she appeared to run very well from off the pace when 66-1 in a Listed race on latest outing; back up 3lb but considered for a place.

Form & Verdict
Won on Lingfield AW in September and not far away in December when last seen; also a close third over 1m2f on good ground last June on the second of her only two AW starts; trainer won this race last year and this 4yo has each-way chance if primed again and if she acts on this surface.

Has shown steadily progressive form (421) this term for new yard, gaining a narrow win over C&D (good to firm) most recently; however, she's been campaigned largely in lower grades and now goes into deeper waters; got upset in stalls and was withdrawn at Newbury ten days ago.

Form & Verdict
Won six of his first seven outings for this yard and beaten under 3l on his two starts since; they were all on AW and his turf form in Ireland last year was way below what's now required, albeit with best of those efforts coming on heavy ground; considered.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden who also ran four times this year for Kevin Philippart De Foy, placed with cheekpieces in 1m2f AW handicaps on last two occasions; not proven on softer than good (one run on heavy) but, having been bought for 19,000gns 18 days ago, she has to be considered.

Form & Verdict
Career record has been dominated by AW achievements and his two peak turf efforts were on good ground; fit from AW (tried cheekpieces last time, below form) and this is his lowest mark for a long time, but he does not look the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have been on Wolverhampton AW and his two seconds on turf were in 2021; while 2023 turf campaign rather petered out, he was third in a soft-ground race last April and has plenty of AW performances in the last six months to recommend him as an each-way prospect.
