Form & Verdict
Made it three wins in a row (1m, good to firm/good) when landing apprentice handicap under Tom Kiely-Marshall at Redcar last Tuesday; escapes a penalty and holds strong claims at a track where he's won twice in the past; effective on good to soft ground, unproven on softer.

Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now.

Form & Verdict
Slowly away and disappointing at Thirsk last time but went there on the back of two good placed efforts (7f, good to firm); unproven on slow ground; no surprise if he bounces back with a big run today.

Only 2lb higher than for his front-running win at Chelmsford in July but he hasn't matched it in three runs since, including back at Chelmsford 17 days ago; others appeal more.

Won two in a row on AW in March and she's below her last winning mark; good third over C&D in July but she's gone off the boil on her three outings since and needs to get back on track.

Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Tony Carroll

Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player.

4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Predominantly disappointing since winning three in a row last summer but he's tumbled down the weights and returned to form with a close second off this mark at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) last week in reapplied cheekpieces (retained); has to be on the shortlist after that revival.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David Evans

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed.
