Form & Verdict
Adaptable as regards tactics but stays further and made all for her sole win (1m, AW) so may be the one to take them along, switched from cheekpieces to a visor; made just a fair comeback three weeks ago for a yard still to get rolling, though.

Up in the weights following two 7f Kempton wins last October and returns to turf 7lb higher than when going close over C&D this time last year; entitled to have come on for his recent AW comeback though.

Added to his three AW wins when justifying favouritism over C&D (good) last week; goes back up in grade under a penalty but he was as good as ever last time and he's effective on good to firm; shortlisted.

All three of his wins have been at Kempton (7f/1m) but he was runner-up here over 1m last April (good to firm); has posted two solid efforts on the AW since returning from a break and has place claims back on turf.

Yet another to bounce back for the switch to this yard when justifying strong support off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester early in the month; had excuses at Wolverhampton over the weekend and holds leading claims once more.

Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender.

Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: James Owen

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue.

Form & Verdict
His closing novice second on the AW (9.5f) didn't amount to much, with his market rival bombing and the winner well held since; yard has been among the winners with its jumpers of late but he'll need to improve back from six months off.

0-14, but appears to have reached a mark he can win from judging by his second of nine behind a subsequent winner over C&D six weeks ago; a player if building on that.

Form & Verdict
Pulled hard in the usual hood on her debut for new connections a fortnight ago, having joined from Charlie Johnston for 20,000gns, and that would be a concern today going without that headgear and upped from 7f; has a bit to prove now in a first-time tongue-tie.
