W: 9st 6lb

Form & Verdict
Out of a half-sister to winners Scoubidou (Italian 1m 2yo Group 3) and Sommelier (German 1m6f Listed); no show at huge odds in three runs (6f/7f) in October but he's been gelded since and could look a different proposition now upped in trip on handicap debut; interesting contender for notable yard.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three qualifying runs, most recently when a 5l third of seven at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he should have more to offer on this step up in trip; in the mix.

Runner-up six times but still a maiden; ahead of Time After Time in his penultimate race (1m2f) and only 3l away last time at Bath over 1m, which is on the short side for one who stays 1m4f; unlikely to be far away.

0-14 but six times a runner-up and he also ran well in a similar race over C&D last year; his form dipped last time but that was his first run on soft ground; likely to go well.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has not finished closer than 6l to a winner including in two handicaps; looks worth a try at this new trip but he needs to significantly raise his game on second run for current yard; tongue-tie added.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jo Davis

Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f for the Kublers last year and made satisfactory stable/hurdle debut when fourth (albeit well held) against own age-group at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in March; ideally needs to settle better but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit; each-way claims.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent ten-race maiden but she's dropped down the weights and was a close third of six in a Newcastle handicap (1m, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month; kept on well in that race and she's respected back up in trip.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a C&D handicap last month; never involved in follow-up bid at Southwell but the drop back to 1m looked against him and he could resume his progress back over this trip; dangerous.

Three qualifying runs on turf, when finishing last at around 6f; off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) in March and was making inroads from the rear when nearly coming down over that C&D last time; switches back to turf and it would be no surprise if he leaves previous efforts on this surface well behind.

Big prices and was beaten around 12l in three runs (1m/8.6f) during the winter but this is more realistic and she's open to progress now handicapping off a lowly mark; one to keep an eye on back from 114 days off.
