Form & Verdict
Placed in 5-8 starts, going very close at Hamilton (8.5f, good) latest, his first start after being gelded; that was an encouraging career-best effort and, given he is related to some stamina-laden winners, it would be no surprise if he can now kick on going up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Broke her duck when 14-1 here (1m1f, soft) on her penultimate start; proved that was no fluke when improving on it after a 5lb rise, finishing second at Hamilton (8.5f, good) latest; another 4lb rise will demand more but she is respected up in trip.

Runner-up three times in a row over 1m3f/1m4f on turf this summer and her 1m2f fourth at Ayr was similar form; big shout on that but the problem is that her AW form (six races, including three last autumn) is at a lower level.

Form & Verdict
Broke his duck on his reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) in March, when 8lb lower; not far off that level when second at Pontefract (1m2f, heavy) next time but below that level in four starts since; more needed.
