2-5 in handicaps for new stable this season, the latter win gained in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when only fourth of five there three weeks ago, though, and now has a point to prove.

Well held in three runs for the Gosdens but she's been progressive for her current yard and made it 2-4 in handicaps when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago; a 5lb rise for that comfortable success looks fair and this well-bred filly could continue on the upgrade; big player.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up to an odds-on favourite in a Nottingham maiden (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago; that was a second consecutive placed finish; switches to handicapping at a realistic level, so it will be interesting to see how he fares; likely player.

Turned things around with a breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in May; disappointing at Ffos Las next time but he bounced back with an eye-catching fifth at Kempton 12 days ago; remains well handicapped on old form and has claims if this sets up for his closing style.

Form & Verdict
Gave a good account of herself when placed on debut at Newmarket (7f, novice, soft) last October; fared okay this year, without progressing, hanging right when fourth of nine (beaten 6.5l) on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; needs more from a 2lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider; showed signs of ability earlier this year in two Polytrack maidens (1m-10.5f) and that was again on display when just held on handicap debut at Killarney (1m, soft) five weeks ago; drying ground may not be ideal, but he has pretty good claims otherwise.

Just six turf starts and she narrowly landed a Brighton handicap (7f, good to soft) in October on her final start for Martin Dunne; another narrow win when she took 7f AW handicap in May and she was back in form when runner-up to a well-in rival at Lingfield (AW) last time; new headgear combination and she'll need considering.
