Form & Verdict
Made a winning start for Daragh Bourke at Newcastle (1m) in February; bar a single blip (over 7f) has held his form relatively well from this elevated mark; pedigree suggests that there could be more improvement to come over 1m1f+; worthy of consideration.

Struck over C&D on British/handicap debut in February and went in again at Hamilton in May; no positives to take from autumn efforts and first-time blinkers need to trigger a revival.

Form & Verdict
Wolverhampton juvenile winner (7f, novice); met traffic problems when third at Windsor (1m, good) last month; is bred to stay - stamina influence in family line - so should appreciate this extra yardage; interesting candidate.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up three times on the AW (at or around a mile) earlier in the year; has failed to kick on positively since, and had no apparent excuse at Yarmouth (1m2f, good; fifth of nine, beaten 3l) latest; 2lb lower here but stablemate Persian Phoenix appeals more.

Form & Verdict
Slowly away on first two starts, so didn't really achieve a massive amount as a juvenile (7f-1m); gelded for the switch to handicapping with the potential to do better over this longer trip; best watched for the moment.
