T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Hasn't really gone on from making a winning handicap debut in April; was rather wayward back on turf last time and connections opt for a visor rather than blinkers here; there's real hope for going beyond 8.6f for the first time on breeding; 7lb claimer returns to the saddle.

Scored on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April but is yet to make any significant further progress after three further AW starts (7f-8.6f; blinkers added last time); needs to kick on again on this return to turf.

Form & Verdict
In the frame in five of her six starts and was only beaten a length into fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; the first two haven't really advertised the form since, but she should go well again.

Eight-race maiden whose best form has been in cheekpieces and the return of blinkers backfired last time at Wolverhampton (7f); with those aids retained, others look safer propositions.

0-7 but she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 on handicap debut over C&D in March and backed that up with another solid effort at Southwell last month; the cheekpieces worn for those two starts are replaced by second-time blinkers; place claims once again but may prove vulnerable.

Two 6f AW wins earlier this year, on Polytrack and a classified event over C&D; went through a quiet spell but replacing cheekpieces with a visor seemed to help when going down narrowly to A Lott Of Kane in a Lingfield classified event in August; one of the better options.

Won a classified event at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in March but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; visor is now tried and he needs a major revival back on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in four of five starts for Craig Lidster last year, including when fourth of 12 over C&D on final outing; makes her debut for new yard after five months off and the market should be informative.

Generally consistent and seemed fine with 1m2f for the first time at Newcastle early in the month; just one win to her name from 18 runs, though, and will need to find a bit more again for this stiffer test.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Didn't show much in four starts last year (well backed final outing) but having been off for six months and gelded he made a successful handicap debut in great style at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss him with an 8lb rise but Warren Fentiman's 5lb claim will help and he looks capable of more.
