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

T: Stuart Williams

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.

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.

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.
