Form & Verdict
Looked as though a longer trip would suit when second of 12 on handicap debut (8.6f) in November but he flopped when upped to an extended 1m1f (also Wolverhampton) next time, after which he was gelded; all turf runs on good to soft or slower but a quicker surface might suit; first-time blinkers.

Resonded well to the fitting of blinkers and being allowed a soft lead when making all on his reappearance/first start since being gelded over C&D (good to firm) last month, but ran a shocker at Chepstow (1m2f, good) next time; much depends on which version turns up, but he could enjoy the run of the race again.

Form & Verdict
All three starts at 7f on AW; 6-4 favourite for debut in November and showed some ability after blowing the start; not so good next time but beaten only around 3l at Wolverhampton (125-1) in March; has enough in her pedigree to suggest this new trip could work on turf/handicap debut; interesting.

Second of five on handicap/turf debut at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in May, but found the trip too far at Windsor (11.4f, good) later in month; off 110 days but still unexposed and worth a market check.

Form & Verdict
Floundering on AW between 6f and 1m since September but he showed a lot more when fourth of nine, beaten 2l, over C&D last week (his best RPR); that was his first go at this trip and his first turf handicap, so there's a fair chance he could build on it.

Sole win over 1m at Brighton last June; running well for new yard and although he hasn't shone over this far in two previous attempts he kept on quite well when a close fourth over 1m2f here last time; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
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.
