Form & Verdict
Best run was his close third at Newbury four starts back (1m2f, good); a beaten favourite the last twice, latterly under Oisin Murphy when back to 1m2f from 1m5f; the ability is there to threaten should blinkers give him a lift.

1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement.

Strong in the betting when collecting by nearly 4l over C&D last month and didn't appear to stay the extended 1m3f back here last month (also lost a shoe); this mark doesn't look beyond him now back in distance.

Form & Verdict
Left William Haggas for 28,000gns and a five-race maiden; wasn't far away with blinkers added in either of her handicaps (1m, good to firm) and there are races in her off this mark; no headgear this time over a longer trip that she should stay.

Seven-race maiden who made the frame but was safely held on first two starts for Ollie Sangster (1m2f/1m, turf); wore cheekpieces last time; blinkers are refitted for this AW debut; needs to find something extra.

Didn't run badly on her stable debut at Salisbury last month without quite matching her best efforts for William Haggas; the return of headgear (new cheekpieces) can help though and she's one for the shortlist.

Has had 15 races but it was his first on fast ground when staying on best to win a Class 6 at Chepstow (1m2f) with something up his sleeve; consistent 3yo and much respected despite the 5lb rise.
