Form & Verdict
85,000gns gelded half-brother to four useful winners; 11-1 on his Kempton debut (7f, AW) three weeks ago but he made some good late headway to finish runner-up behind a progressive Godolphin rival; should know more over this longer trip and he's respected on this switch to turf.

Winless last season but ran some promising races and did likewise when fourth on his reappearance at Chester (7f, good; Supido third), having been dropped in from a wide draw; continues to drop down the weights; chance.

Form & Verdict
First foal of a Group-placed 1m winner whose siblings include Oaks/dual Arc winner Enable; attracted support into 15-2 on recent Wetherby debut (7f, good) and he ran well to finish third of 16 behind a useful prospect; has quite a bit to find with Upscale but he should know more this time and is open to progress over this longer trip.

Dam was useful over this trip and he's shown enough in three starts over 7f-7.6f to suggest he's worth considering back from a short break on handicap debut now handed a stiffer test and fitted with first-time headgear/tongue-tie; watch the market.

Form & Verdict
Kingman filly out of a 7f Group 3 winner; took a strong hold when disappointing on soft at Doncaster in April but she's finished runner-up in her other two starts including behind a useful favourite at Haydock (7f, good; hood added) three weeks ago; sets a good standard on that form and she's strongly respected.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a C&D novice 23 days ago; picked up well in a steadily run race (Cognisance won the second division in a time over two seconds quicker) on that occasion and could have more to offer on this surface.

Five-race maiden; best efforts when runner-up three times, beaten only half a length at Salisbury (7f) most recently; hasn't progressed in the expected manner but brings the best form to this AW debut and is bred to be suited by the new scenario (dam's first win came over C&D).

Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good.

3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark.

Recorded her second win when scoring over 1m4f here last month but she was a well-held fourth in follow-up bid at Southwell on Saturday; has a bit to prove after that and this is a quick turnaround.
