J: Daniel Tudhope

Thrice-raced colt whose form has substance; justified favouritism in Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) most recently and should build on that success; strong contender upped to 6f on nursery debut.

Runner-up 5f maidens at Hamilton (good to soft) and Catterick (good) since dropped back to 5f in July; from stall 3, she ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Filly by Twilight Son; two promising efforts from her three runs so far including a clear second behind an odds-on rival at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) last month; that form puts her firmly in the picture and she's open to more progress.
