Form & Verdict
All starts on turf; won his first two nurseries (6f/7f); three defeats at the end of the summer may suggest the handicapper is winning the argument but his Sandown third (Blewburton seventh) on penultimate start came in a competitive race and soft ground may not have suited last time; his dam was an AW winner and he's interesting back from a 106-day break; top yard also runs Choreographic.

Has seen plenty of action since his debut last June but he resumed his progress back on turf after a gelding operation when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces removed) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and this return to quicker ground is no problem; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Made steady progress in her first three starts, including third over 7f; only sixth of 12 on 6f Wolverhampton nursery debut seven weeks ago but she stuck at it to be beaten only just over 1l and the return 7f may help; 3lb claimer Harry Burns partnered a winner for the yard here last weekend.

Form & Verdict
Defied a double penalty when shading a tight finish in a 6f course novice under Alice Bond 16 days ago on his first run for Joseph Parr; even more will be needed if he's to follow up on handicap debut; well held on previous attempt at 7f but it was a Group 3.

Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now.

Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Fairly treated on his peak 2yo form but weakened to finish just under 5l behind the reopposing Art Market when stepped up to 7f for his Sandown nursery debut at the end of August (final start for Eve Johnson Houghton); switches to AW for the first time, for new trainer after four months off.
