Form & Verdict
Struck at Brighton in April but he might not be one for the faint-hearted as he was beaten when trading at 1.44 in running at Hamilton last month and 1.01 in the run over C&D (soft) last week; still has solid place claims off same mark as last time.

Juvenile hurdler who failed to build on his Southwell effort when comfortably held at Kelso; just ordinary on the Flat and lacks potential; may find better opportunities in handicaps soon.

Fair on Flat at up to 1m6f for Jack Channon, winning three times, and he shaped nicely when a close second of nine at Southwell (2m, good to soft) on hurdling debut, making the odd mistake but keeping on; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Carries head high but it doesn't stop her; won when stepped up to 1m4f (AW) in February and readily at Leicester in June (1m2f, good to soft); beaten favourite off this mark at that shorter trip the last twice and probably needs return to 1m4f to bring out more.

Form & Verdict
Third to Dibble Dabble at Leicester then shaped very well when doing too much too soon at Windsor; used up plenty of gas to get to the front from widest stall at Wolverhampton last time (sent off evens) and weakened out of it; capable of winning off this mark but comes with risks attached; has undergone second wind surgery since last seen.

Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style.

Betting suggested he might step up more than he did when upped to 1m2f for first handicap at Windsor last month (cheekpieces also went on) but he finished a good third; filled same position at Yarmouth last week, again shaping as if 1m4f would see him in an even better light; major claims if handling soft ground.

Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round.

Runner-up on heavy ground as 3yo and the form of her second place at Haydock two runs ago has been boosted by the winner; latest effort needs forgiving for all she probably did a bit too much too soon; has worn this headgear combination separately but never together.
