3 yo Filly

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly, who has form figures of 121 in novice events including an emphatic win over C&D on Boxing Day; now switches to a competitive handicap but she's still unexposed and is open to more progress; interesting contender and her first win was under Laura Coughlan.

J: William Cox

Dual Wolverhampton winner from the front, latterly off this mark in the spring; the return to Tapeta should help but she's struggled since, including back on the AW in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) two weeks ago.

First low-key effort when last of ten in a Class 3 handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) in April; won't mind if it rains but she will need a clear personal best to trouble the principals.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut at Lingfield (5f, good; 14-1) last June; placed in two novice events after that but he returned after a break with a heavy defeat on handicap debut at Southwell (5f; first run since gelded) last month; has something to prove after that and he's not really progressed so far.

Shrugged off some below-par runs when third of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago and he's now back on the mark he defied at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in May; 0-5 on AW but a creditable fourth over C&D on his yard debut in the spring; Danny Tudhope is not a regular booking for the stable.

Form & Verdict
Found plenty of improvement when justifying support in a Thirsk novice (5f, good to firm) last August, on the third of her three 2yo runs; left Karl Burke for 7,000gns since but she's still unexposed and needs watching in the market on handicap/stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Won a Southwell novice and Musselburgh nursery during his nine-race 2yo campaign; no impact in two runs this year but he ran into some trouble after a slow start at Southwell 25 days ago; dropped 2lb and could be dangerous if things go more to plan this time.

Notched a third victory of the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best in a pair of handicaps at Goodwood (6f) and Thirsk (5f) since though; has a bit to prove returning from a break in refitted cheekpieces.

0-9 since his Leicester win (5f, good to soft) last May but he was a creditable second at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; left Ed Walker for 14,000gns since; one of the most exposed runners in this line-up but he's only 1lb higher than last time and has each-way claims for new yard.

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden after 11 runs but he went very close at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month before a creditable third at Southwell last time; ties in with some of today's rivals on that latest form and he's not ruled out.
