Hasn't gone on as might have been expected after a comfortable Thirsk debut success in the spring but he did take a step back in the right direction after a gelding operation when making late headway for third in 5f Chester nursery (good to soft) six weeks ago, shaping as if this return to 6f may suit.

All runs on good to firm; highest RPR was his debut win at Thirsk (5f); down the field in the Windsor Castle before finishing only fifth of seven on nursery debut at Haydock (5f); now on a recovery mission but has been gelded.

Came up well short in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; has otherwise shown promise with comfortable win at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) and placed effort at York (6f); interesting back down in grade.

Fair form on good to firm/firm on first three starts, before last of seven on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good; 12-1) in first-time cheekpieces; wears a hood instead for this AW debut.

Has raced only on firmer than good; behind A'Ali G at Bath last time (shorter price of the pair) when his chance went after he stumbled and hit the running rail; 2lb better off with his old rival tonight and wears first-time cheekpieces.

No match for an odds-on rival when second of four on his debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); then refused to enter the stalls at Chester, and after being gelded he was third of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; made the running); contender.

Regressive maiden who's been running over 6f lately; blew it at the stalls on her penultimate start but then ran poorly last time and would be a surprise winner.

Returned from break with two underwhelming 7f turf runs last month and is now 0-12 but might have needed the first outing and the ground was heavy last time; returns to Tapeta on a good mark; might fare better this time.

0-11 but he's on a handy mark judged on his form early this year and he may have needed the outing when mid-division at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago following a five-month break; has shown some promise on soft ground; not ruled out.

Yet to win in ten runs, but placed on five occasions, including last time when third at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; also a close third off this mark at Newcastle the time before; possibilities if he's ready to go after a break.

T: Kevin Ryan

Nottingham maiden winner who outran his 100-1 odds to finish fourth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) having been bang there throughout before wilting in the closing stages; a fast colt who will have no trouble going the early pace and should be very competitive.

Midfield on Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) but stepped up from that when winning a Nottingham maiden (5f, good) 18 days ago (runner-up filled same position at Chester last weekend); open to further progress but that form leaves him with plenty to find at this level; stable won this in 2011.

Slowly away from outside stall and raced too freely on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) but showed significant ability before fading into sixth; ought to have learned from that experience and can improve.
