0-14 but he's been placed on his last three starts, the latest over 1m at Lingfield (AW) last week; more exposed than most but no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again.

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut.

Ten-race maiden who has to bounce back from a quiet run at Windsor five weeks ago (tried in cheekpieces which are now left off); drops into his first Class 6 handicap but others look open to greater improvement.

Promise on AW for David Simcock as a 2yo; low-key stable debut at Haydock last month but he fared better tried in a tongue tie at Redcar five weeks ago; return to AW and addition of cheekpieces could prompt extra; one for the shortlist.

Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt.

No match for a thriving rival at Kempton (1m) on her recent handicap debut but she kept on well for second and remains capable of better; the extra yardage should suit and she's an interesting contender.

Placed three times from nine starts for James Fanshawe; return to a 0-60 a positive, but she made a low-key stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month and needs to step forward from that.
