Form & Verdict

3yo who made it 4-4 over 1m2f (good to firm-soft) when completing a four-timer at Goodwood in August; he's up in grade today but is just 2lb higher than last time and could still have more to offer.

Upped to 1m2f for his breakthrough win at Windsor in June and improved again when following up over C&D (again good to firm) three weeks ago; raised another 5lb but he's been knuckling down well and needs respect.

Form & Verdict
Cashed in on a golden opportunity with a runaway win at Kempton (1m3f maiden) in May but she's been well held in three handicaps since, most recently when third of six at Hamilton last month; mark is sliding but she's now 1-7 and others are more persuasive.

Just a single win, at long odds-on in a Polytrack maiden, to go with a good few short-priced reversals and hasn't always looked the easiest; will want to settle better round here, back up in trip, and the handicapper ultimately knows where he is with her.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark (fifth attempt) when making all in a Yarmouth handicap (1m2f, good) in April and fair third under more patient tactics at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) last month; should go well again but he needs to find something extra with cheekpieces added.

Probably acts on good to soft; made all when off the mark at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in April and showed improved form when coming from towards the rear to win in fine style at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing; the latter was a step up in trip and, although he's now 8lb higher, he may have more to give at around 1m4f.

Form & Verdict
Well held at biggish prices in her three qualifying runs (7f/1m) last season but she's a half-sister to several middle-distance winners and looks a possible improver now upped in trip on handicap debut; needs watching in the market on her comeback.
