Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he didn't get the best of runs before finishing well to go close over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; this is a deeper race but he pulled 4l clear with the winner last time and is only 1lb higher here; respected.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Stuart Williams

Made his breakthrough (11th attempt) in a Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a creditable fourth at Salisbury but he has taken a strong hold at times and his form nosedived at Yarmouth last week; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back on this return to Polytrack.

C&D winner who scored at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in June and has held her form with placed efforts in both subsequent runs; travelled strongly for a long way when clear second at Yarmouth two weeks ago and she's a key player off unchanged mark.

Off the mark when landing a Chepstow handicap (1m, good to soft) in May but she didn't fire when favourite in similar conditions at Ripon (well-held sixth) the following month; still lightly raced and seems versatile ground-wise but she needs to step up again after that last run.
