Form & Verdict
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.

Sprinting filly who is 0-7 this season, albeit has slipped to an attractive mark; something to prove over this new trip but the combination of sharp track and forecast sound surface may enable her to see it out.

Has shown promise at Sandown (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good), some improvement when third of nine on second occasion; this intermediate trip could be ideal, and with an experience edge over most of his rivals he's unlikely to be far away.

Not yet off the mark but she hasn't always had the rub of the green for this yard and her latest run might have been needed; has run well on Wolverhampton Tapeta but this is her first course run so she does have a slight surface query.
