Twice placed in maidens last season before an ambitious bid in a Listed race at Newmarket; has confirmed a fair standard of form in two 6f outings at this venue this season; third behind No Return (handicap winner since) and second to the well-fancied Bonus Time 12 days ago; should go close. |

Went close in two early season maidens and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when beaten a short head at Cork a fortnight ago; has shown plenty of speed, so 5f will probably be fine and she sets a solid enough standard on form. |

Limerick maiden winner (1m, good) for Adrian Murray last summer; having been gelded he wasn't disgraced when fourth of five on stable debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in February, but gave the impression he needed a return to further. |

Lightly-raced 4yo; attracted support and made a perfect start for new connections when seeing off 14 rivals at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a better race but there was a lot to like about the way he responded to pressure last time; can do better. |

Bought cheaply by current connections (was trained by Jack Jones) and made the frame when starting out for them over C&D 18 days ago (off a break; wore hood and tongue-tie together for the first time; headgear retained here); this is tougher. |

Promising debut before some lesser efforts but took a step forward when beaten half a length in a Cork handicap last month on yard debut; wasn't as good in 5f Curragh handicap 13 days ago and will need a career best back in maiden company. |

Promise on sole 2yo start but three runs this term have been poor, too keen and didn't get home over 1m on latest in hood/tongue-tie combination (now left off); changed yards since and improvement possible now dropped to minimum trip for first time although mark may still be on the high side. |
