Form & Verdict
Went the wrong way in his first three starts; 3l fifth of 11 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago was much more like it again, checked well over 1f out and staying on, when tongue tied first time; now has cheekpieces too and he's a player on that latest form.

Unbeaten in this headgear combination in 11.4f handicaps at Windsor on last three outings; did it comfortably on soft ground before harder work on good to firm while showing improved form again on last two starts; this race, however, is a mighty leap up in class.

Came good at fifth attempt, drawing clear inside final furlong to win quite comfortably over C&D (soft) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; encounters much faster ground and is 6lb higher today but still features prominently in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Needs to improve markedly on her turf form (from two of her first three runs) but won handicap debut on Chelmsford AW (1m2f) in October and has been bang there in two of her three starts since, including over 1m3f at Kempton on latest; has to be in calculations.

Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this.

Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive.

Form & Verdict
Progressed markedly from a lowly starting point in three AW races early this year, 33-1 when front-running third of nine in novice at Kempton (1m4f) last time; blinkered on last two starts but not today; makes handicap debut and should still be capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when winning on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October; not quite at that level on either start since, racing freely, and he was tried in cheekpieces when making most at Sandown (1m2f) latterly on reappearance; the headgear is off today and he looks bred to stay 1m4f.

Third in this last year (soft) and arrives at the top of his game, having been a clear second to Whatsgoingonmarvin at Sandown (1m2f, soft) last month and a very close third of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) recently; key player if his preferred slow ground prevails.

Won a 1m nursery here on heavy ground in October 2023 and it was soft going when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown last September; back-to-form second in the same Sandown race (soft ground again) last month and, although back up 3lb, that puts him into each-way contention.

Sent off the 11-8 favourite when winning this race 12 months ago (soft); came into that race in better form but he's 2lb lower today and his latest run (behind a few of these) wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest; the more rain the better for him.

Form & Verdict
Close third on debut in February; went downhill in two other AW maidens but 7l second of seven to an easy winner at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) nine days ago on handicap/turf debut was her best yet; has same mark but may well need to find extra.
