Can race prominently (as for April's 7f win here) but she came from pretty much last to win at Kempton a month ago (1m); 5lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but has to be considered.

Had a couple of near misses on Tapeta in the spring and his form has taken off on turf since, winning 6f handicaps at Carlisle (twice) and Doncaster; came up short under a penalty back at Carlisle three weeks ago but still ran creditably in second; hood added today; shouldn't be far away.

Progressive gelding who has won three of his last four starts, including a Class 5 over C&D (good) last Tuesday; has a penalty for that last-gasp win but he did well to overcome trouble and that made it 2-2 at Carlisle; respected.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf.

Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when very close second at Kempton (7f, AW) in April, his second handicap; not quite in same form at Southwell later that month but looks worth a crack at 1m and has possibilities if he responds well to blinkers on this turf debut.
