Form & Verdict
Unexposed 4yo who returned from 238 days off with promising fourth on handicap debut at Southwell (6f; first run since gelded) last month; that was behind a major improver and he has possibilities if he builds on that performance.

Inconsistent on the AW but saw off a progressive rival when off the mark in January; beaten just over 1l in a busy finish on his comeback over C&D (good; Coolagh Magic and Court Of Session ahead, Shibuya Storm behind) in June and wasn't far off that when fourth at Newmarket (good to firm; winner and fifth won next time) nine days later; key player.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark when justifying support here (5f; hood added) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he found plenty when collaring the leader close home in an apprentice race here yesterday; goes unpenalised and has good claims back over 6f.

Form & Verdict
All of his eight wins have been over 7f and latest was at Wolverhampton last month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he couldn't pose a threat back at 6f last time and it could be a similar story here.

Form & Verdict
Hard to predict and was beaten 8l over C&D last time but she finished close up here on her penultimate run and is now 7lb lower than for her win at Ayr (6f) in August; yard won a division of this race in the last two years and she's not ruled out back in a Class 6 event.
