Form & Verdict
Encouraging 6f AW debut in March; lesser efforts next twice but fitting a hood seemed to help on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good to firm) in June, where being checked in his run cost him dear in a competitive race (winner gone in again since); down 2lb and respected on first 7f run.

Easy front-running success at Lingfield in July (7f, good to firm); spoiled his chance by hanging right at Sandown later that month and never landed a blow in a Class 4 at Doncaster last time; hood left off now back down in trip and grade.

Evidently suited by drop back to 7f when making all to win by 6l at Lingfield (good to firm) last month, her second handicap, and was not fazed by a change of tactics when keeping on from off the pace for third at Sandown (7f, good) last week; likely to make his presence felt again here.

Form & Verdict
Running well in the autumn and now back on his winning mark at Windsor (1m, heavy; has won on good to firm) in October; however, this year isn't going well and he was ominously slow to get going at Newbury last week; no strong contender.

Seven-time winner who handles any ground but he can miss the break; now 2lb lower than for his Newbury win (1m, good) in May but he's lost his way since and needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Kept to sprint trips since first two starts, off the mark in first-time hood when switched to front-running on Chelmsford AW (6f) in April; lesser effort at Brighton next time and while his latest AW run was better he now needs to show he can sustain his effort back at 7f.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; hadn't looked on a good mark in first three handicap attempts but he was suited by the return to an extended 7f at Ffos Las (good to soft) nine days ago when persevering well to take a close second of five; now needs to show he can repeat it over a bare 7f on fast ground.

Wheels have come off since last summer's Ffos Las near-miss (7f, good to soft), including on all four starts for current handler; drop to another career-low mark isn't sufficiently enticing.
