Form & Verdict
Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when making all to get off the mark at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; repected off 4lb higher, but while good to soft ground wouldn't be an issue anything softer may raise a question.

Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected.

Rapid headway last year once fitted with cheekpieces and front-running, winning four handicaps at about 1m4f on varying ground; second in Listed race at Ascot (1m6f) in October and, after wind surgery, ran well again at that level when fifth at Goodwood (1m4f; nearly 3l behind Scenic) on reappearance; the best of today's rivals demand more, though, if they are on song.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has improved since switched to handicaps in a tongue-tie, going down by half a length at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has run well on good to soft); up 3lb but likely to progress further and the stable is going well.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in four starts for Andrew Balding and was having his second start for this yard when second of seven behind a progressive rival at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; 1lb higher and cheekpieces are given a go, but he may need to improve again to take this.

Mixed record on the Flat but he's edging down the weights and stepping up to 2m could prompt extra; considered.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly made a winning return on stable debut in a Bath maiden (1m, good) in April; pedigree suggests this sort of trip should suit and that looked the case when staying on into third of ten at Chester (1m2f, good) last month; a player.

Won a Bath maiden (1m, good) on his stable/seasonal debut in April but he's found it tough going in handicaps since and was beaten 8l when third at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last time; continues to edge down the weights but he needs to raise his game.

Narrowly made a winning return on stable debut in a Bath maiden (1m, good) in April; stayed on into third of ten at Chester (1m2f, good) in June but ran a shocker, with 1m4f not to blame, at Epsom (good to soft) on latest outing; unraced on firmer than good; needs to resume improvement.

Two good runs since sent into handicaps but he has some wild form swings in his record and his latest fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) was a 9l defeat; looks well handicapped on his best form but he comes with risks attached at this new trip.
