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.

Thrown in on his 3yo form but he has gone the wrong way in a hurry and a wind operation last November hasn't arrested the slide; drops into his first 0-55 and has a good apprentice booked so a revival isn't completely out of the question.

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.

Outsider of six for her comeback from almost six months off at Kempton three weeks ago, when shaping nicely; her best efforts have come over 1m, often under aggressive rides, and she'll likely have plenty of use made of her on her Tapeta debut.

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.

2l and a place behind Squeezebox at Warwick latest, though that sixth still represented stronger form than that of June's Worcester hurdling debut win (2m, good); liable to remain vulnerable under his penalty on that evidence, but this doesn't look as deep a contest as last time.

Found one stronger in each of his first three starts (7f-1m), losing out by only a nose on turf debut at Bath (maiden) in April; slightly disappointing at Leicester latest but freshened up by a short break, and back up in trip for handicap debut.
