0-9 on AW; reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f; front pair clear) a fortnight ago but underwhelmed over 1m2f (also good to soft) at Redcar on Saturday; step back up to this trip should help.

Reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers when returning to form with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; front pair clear) nine days ago; recent 4lb rise is manageable and the forecast overnight rain will be very much in his favour.

1-18; respectable effort when fourth in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in May but was beaten 12l, when things didn't go his way, in amateur riders' handicap at Newcastle (AW) next time; weakened a long way from home on his return at Doncaster 11 days ago.

Form & Verdict
Had wind surgery during the three-month break that followed a poor run at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer); the ground was fast when previously showing improved form to just miss out at Windsor (11.5f); bit to prove on balance.

Made it 0-10 when tailed off on stable debut at Newcastle last December, and off since; however, she's well treated on last year's best form for Hughie Morrison and shouldn't be written off back from a break.

Nine-race maiden; has left the care of Hughie Morrison for 1,000gns since finishing fourth of eight at Yarmouth (1m3.5f, soft) in October; career-low mark for return to AW; best to monitor for the time being.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and was only about 2l off the winner last time at Bath (1m, good to firm); unraced on ground anything like as soft as this and stamina could be stretched.

Went close at Brighton in May (1m2f, good) and she made the breakthrough over that C&D (good to firm) next time; not bred for this far but she promises to get the trip; one of the more likely ones.

13-race maiden who usually loses ground at the start; however, recovered well from particularly slow start when strong-finishing fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this month and looks well worth another crack at 1m2f.

Well-related filly who produced by some margin her best form yet when making all over C&D last week, her first time on ground softer than good (heavy); must have every chance of defying a penalty.

First reserve; won a 1m2f heavy ground Ffos Las handicap last year off 55 for the Kublers; has been hurdling for current yard and scored in a heavy ground Punchestown maiden in February over an extended 2m3f; way below that level in a Newcastle novice hurdle when last seen later that month; stable among the winners recently.

Both wins on heavy ground, over 1m2f on the Flat and last time reeling in one of Willie Mullins' lesser lights in a Punchestown maiden over an extended 2m3f; as that day, she's a 4yo filly getting the allowances.
