Form & Verdict
Ordinary conversion rate and not the force of old either, but this month's near-1l Windsor fifth off the same career-low mark rates a good first turf outing of the year; whether he backs that up is moot.

J: Dylan Hogan

Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again.

Adaptable as regards sprint distance and course type at best; underwhelming short winter campaign on Tapeta and maintains a mixed record fresh, but a revival isn't impossible from 4lb below his last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Assisted by the career-low mark and/or debuted cheekpieces (retained) when getting up at Redcar latest (5f, soft), recording his best ever RPR; player raised just 2lb, though not certain he cares as much for fast going despite last year's Hamilton maiden win (easy task at cramped odds).

J: Daniel Tudhope

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Form & Verdict
Value for closer than 2l when a back-to-form fifth at Sandown latest (short of room then hampered); all turf wins and place form has come on ground with cut, but livelier surfaces are no impediment on that latest evidence and he's a player if able to back it up.

Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here.

Form & Verdict
On the face of it two below-par efforts since joining current connections, but didn't settle on the first and looked unsteady around Chester's turns last time; now 3lb lower than for November's Newcastle near-miss, and just a case of whether she can translate her peak Tapeta RPRs to turf now.
