Form & Verdict
Made it two wins from his five starts when scoring by 5l in a handicap at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) on last month's reappearance; a 7lb rise could have been worse for this unexposed 4yo and he has strong claims.

Easily justified odds of 1-6 in a five-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last September and the next three home all won their next starts; disappointed badly on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) later in month and not seen since, but no surprise if he bounced back on this quicker ground.

Form & Verdict
Three AW wins in the winter (9.4f-1m4f) and runs off latest winning mark; showed promise on turf last summer (albeit 0-5 on grass); however, not at his very best on his last three runs and has to raise his game.

5 yo Colt

OR: 96

Form & Verdict
Has an impressive 10-40 strike-rate and bolted up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; failed to back that up at Epsom (1m2f, good) eight days later and he's unproven at this trip, but there's stamina in his pedigree and he didn't run badly on that latest outing; shouldn't be written off.

Won well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; only his second attempt at this sort of trip when creditable, keeping-on third of five at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) on Saturday, but he'll need better than that.

Form & Verdict
Won 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown (good) last July on third and final run for Aidan O'Brien; sold for 30,000gns last October and beaten about 5l when sixth of seven on last month's handicap and stable debut at Newbury (2m, good); could improve for that run and not ruled out under Ryan Moore.

Produced form figures of 321 in Leopardstown maidens for Aidan O'Brien; sold for 30,000gns and gelded since his 1m2f win; stamina to prove over this new trip but market support should be noted.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who is in and out and was always behind at Newcastle last month after a three-month break; however, she won at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last November and went very close here (1m2f, AW) in January, and she's effective on fast turf; in the mix if leaving last time behind.
