Form & Verdict
Progressive efforts on AW, latterly in two Racing League handicaps; good second, behind a horse who broke the track record, at Southwell (1m4f) latest; shapes as if this new trip will suit on turf debut and represents last year's winning yard; strong claims.

Bettered pick of AW form on turf debut over slightly further (heavy), winning by a wide margin at Chester last month; 12lb higher mark demands more but should go well.

Has made the frame in all four starts but finished behind three of these in his last two outings, firstly in a novice here (1m3f) and then on handicap debut in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) a week ago; still unexposed but a bit more is required.

Seven-race maiden; has shaped encouragingly in both attempts over 1m6f, latest at Haydock (good to soft) last week when finishing second; possibilities off the same mark, provided he builds on that effort.

AW debut (20-1) over 2m last time did not go well but he showed fair form in four of five previous races, including when staying-on fourth of six in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f) on penultimate outing; now swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and he's not entirely ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Acts on soft and good to firm; took well to first-time visor at Thirsk two weeks ago and, having been promoted to first place following a stewards' inquiry, now has a record of 5-5 over 1m6f; has crept up the weights but looks very solid kept to this trip.

Faced a difficult task in the Melrose here in August but has since flopped at Chester (again 1m6f) and hasn't built on his 1m2f win at Doncaster in the spring (handicap debut); returns to what might be his best trip but there are reservations.

Upped to 1m2f when winning a handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) in May and to 1m4f when fair fourth of six there (good) on latest outing; rather disappointing here in between and needs a big boost from somewhere given his position 6lb out of the handicap; 7lb claimer is enlisted.

Form & Verdict
Respectable novice form on soft/heavy going last autumn, winning at Beverley then solid second at Ayr; far from solid on his handicap efforts (on AW/good) but looks interesting off a reduced mark back on forecast slow ground; new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Made all for comfortable success in similar event at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month, stepping up markedly on his novice efforts; open to further improvement in handicaps and likely to stay this longer distance, being half-brother to a 2m1f winner; respected.
