Unplaced all seven starts; outran 50-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 in Bath handicap (5f, good) in June and was denied clear run when filling same position in Chepstow classified (5f, good to firm) last month but others appeal more all the same.

Yet to show any promise in his five runs to date, ninth of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; easy to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Well held at big prices in his three runs, most recently when 11 fourth at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; has plenty to find back on turf and minor nurseries will be more suitable.

J: Georgia Dobie

T: Keiran Burke

Limited maiden for two yards (5.7f-8.7f) who's been off for three months having refused to enter the stalls when last due to run (28-1 at the time); hard to make a case for him back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Only third of five at Southwell (5f, AW) on recent stable debut but that was after 194 days off and he sets a clear standard on his two frame efforts for the Gosdens in the spring; now switches to turf but he has a heavy-ground winner on dam's side and should be hard to beat if he can get back near best.

Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance.

Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now.

Form & Verdict
Finished a 6l third of three on his Southwell debut (6f, AW) last month but he ran green behind a useful prospect in that race and should know much more this time; looks a possible improver on this switch to turf and his dam won on heavy.
