Form & Verdict
Still to add to his two 2yo AW wins at the end of 2022 but bettered a low-key seasonal/stable debut when keeping-on fourth here (6f, good to firm) last month and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Has gradually worked her way back to form this season and looked very well suited by the return to 7f when keeping on well for clearcut success at Epsom (good) three weeks ago; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race here but evidently in good nick.

Suffered dip in form after very promising debut in January (6f, AW) but, with tongue-tie fitted, shaped well when fourth on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good) a fortnight ago; that form was given a good boost by the winner on Thursday and this fellow might be better suited by this easier 7f.

Five-race maiden; has performed respectably in 7f turf events since switched to handicap level, while shaping as if this return to 6f will suit; solid second over C&D on debut (sole AW start; form has major substance); very interesting.

Last of 12 on seasonal/handicap debut in May (6f) but quickly got career back on track with keeping-on second at Salisbury (7f, good; denied clear run) a fortnight later; subsequent 11-week break is a slight concern but she might still have potential.

Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface.

Form & Verdict
Speedy and quite useful as a 2yo but yet to make a significant impact after four starts this season; continues to slip down the weights but the addition of cheekpieces didn't appear to help much at Doncaster last month and he's not the most obvious answer here.
