4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game.

Handicapper quick to ease off this spring and he turned in his best effort for this yard when fourth behind Sisterandbrother at Doncaster last weekend; inclined to over-race back in cheekpieces there and has to prove he can do it on the AW.

Confirmed the promise of her 2yo debut when running away with a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton in June; similar form when third at Doncaster in July but she didn't look ahead of the handicapper when third of five at Goodwood (1m, good) three weeks ago; return to 7f can help and not yet exposed.

Unexposed filly who reappeared with an easy win in Wolverhampton maiden (7f) in June and was a creditable third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; should have more to offer now switched to a handicap and she's a half-sister to a useful winner at 1m-1m2f; interesting contender.
