Form & Verdict
Promising debut second at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last July before failing to kick on; returned with good second at Brighton last month (6f, good to firm; gelded); there's a concern he'll follow the same pattern as last year but this is an excellent opportunity if he's anywhere near his best.

J: Oliver Stammers

Two wins this year, the latter when coming from off the pace to prevail by a nose at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last month; still on a workable mark but his record is very mixed, and he didn't fire on latest outing.

Won two of his last five starts (with and without headgear), scrambling home at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise not excessive and he has a good strike-rate for one of his rating; chance.

Back to winning ways at Lingfield (1m) in February but his more recent form is not so encouraging, tenth in 1m Doncaster handicap two weeks ago; needs to take a step forward.

Running well in defeat in Class 5 and Class 6 handicaps on last few starts; has something to find with Union Island but a good case can be made for him being best of the rest; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
12-1, slowly away when soundly beaten fourth of five on debut over C&D (good) in May; her claims aren't obvious on that evidence but she's a sister to the stable's multiple 5f winner Atiyah (RPR 86) and there can be optimism she'll improve; not ruled out in a race very much lacking depth.

Her 18 races have yielded just one win but that came over C&D (good to firm) last August; close third of 14 at Doncaster last Friday (5f, good to firm; one place behind Beerwah) and she may again be firmly involved.
