Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten on first two outings (6f/7f) but, having been allowed to bowl along in front, displayed much more promise when fourth in Kempton novice (1m) three weeks ago; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry, but he drops back in trip for today's handicap debut and is open to further improvement.

J: Tom Marquand

Made most when winning over 7f at Chelmsford on August's handicap debut; only sixth at Chelmsford off this mark three weeks ago but he pulled hard early and that isn't the run to judge him on; should be quick enough to deal with the return to 6f and Tom Marquand has just his third ride for the stable this year (one was a 40-1 winner); open to further progress.

Stepped up on his novice form when making most of the running in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him in time but it won't be easy dominating in this more competitive race.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Scott Dixon

Four wins for the Barrons, three of them over 7f on the Tapeta at Newcastle; 28-1 for his stable debut two weeks ago (first run after a 175-day break) and he weakened as though it was needed; likely to bounce back at some point.

Form & Verdict
Looked promising over 7f for Karl Burke during the winter and made quite encouraging stable debut in June (1m), but has disappointed in his last two outings (1m2f/1m4f); may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others have much less to prove; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Four wins at around 1m on the AW including one over C&D in January; having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than when last successful, she ran well to finished third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; can't be discounted.

Consistent filly who made all to open her account at Kempton (6f) in May and, having lost ground at the start, finished well for fourth at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) this month; looks well worth another crack at 7f; high on the list.

0-7 and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful, but she was a close second at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack; led) last Thursday in a first-time tongue-tie and should have no problem coping with the drop back to 6f; leading claims if reproducing that latest form.
