Form & Verdict
Readily made all in C&D novice (good to soft) in July on fourth start; soundly beaten in Group 3/Listed races the next twice but has far more realistic claims in this first handicap, and his course win was his sole encounter with slow ground.

Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth.

Won at York in June on second start (6f, good to soft; sole run on slow ground); mixed results since but ran pretty well when third of seven in recent Goodwood nursery (6f, good) and she may appreciate the return to slow ground and the drop back to 5f; possible player.

Form & Verdict
Built upon previous promise to make all in first-time blinkers at Ripon (5f, good to firm) last month on second start, and the runner-up Invincible Annice has since gone one better; could have more to offer in the headgear, provided she handles conditions (unraced on slow ground).

Form & Verdict
Won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May on second start and creditable third of five at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time; the fact he's a soft-ground winner means he's worth a second look today, but he needs to produce more than he's managed on his last three starts.
