Form & Verdict
Sister to the yard's useful 1m2f 2yo soft-ground winner Dillian; ran well twice in maidens against her own sex over 8.7f at Wolverhampton last backend; this stiffer test seems sure to suit and she's shortlisted for a trainer with a good record here.

Fair Flat racer who was placed in Listed races at Wetherby (2m, good) and Newbury (2m, soft) on her first two hurdling starts; below that form in another Listed race in January but still very much the one to beat here.

Three-time Flat winner who has been placed in Listed races on her two hurdle starts, most recently runner-up to Highland Crystal at Newbury (2m, soft) when beaten just under 7l; 5lb better off with the winner today and can give another good account, but improvement is needed if she's to win this.

Completed a hat-trick at about 1m4f earlier this year for Michael Bell, whom she left after finishing last in a 1m6f handicap in August; of useful ability and has joined a top yard for hurdling career; not entirely dismissed as a 3yo filly receiving weight all round.

Needed the experience on debut last autumn, when slowly away and green, and was again below market expectations (started favourite each time) on his AW comeback having been gelded; is evidently felt capable of better and goes right up in trip today.

Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return.

Tremendous progress once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; he was put in his place, improvement ending, when never-dangerous third to Reverend Hubert over C&D three weeks ago off revised mark, but he's able to race off 5lb lower today; considered.

Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress.

Today's longer trip should suit on pedigree but he was beaten a long way on his Redcar debut early in the month and may want more time; handicaps could be his thing later on.

Has improved since being fitted with a tongue-tie on his last two starts and got off the mark at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last month; it remains to be seen if he can follow up on forecast quicker ground but he is at the right end of the handicap to progress.

C&D maiden third in April (good to firm; RPR 61) remains his best effort, though neared it in a newly fitted tongue-tie (retained) at Ripon latest; effectiveness on ground slower than good taken on trust.

Bumper/hurdle winner; made Flat debut in April and she's going the right way, second on her handicap debut at Haydock (11.5f) in July before winning at Newmarket six weeks ago (1m4f, good to soft; made all); other pace influences on show but a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond her.

Gelded newcomer who was picked up at the sales for 8,000euros in February; has stamina on the dam's side and the market will guide for a yard that doesn't run many here (0-6; also saddles Doddington Guy).
