Form & Verdict
Well-related 220,000euros yearling who didn't see out 7f in one run last autumn before being gelded; couple of costly Wolverhampton 5f defeats this spring, latterly in the hood (retained), but remains open to improvement now handicapping on turf.

Didn't have to improve to make a winning stable debut at Leicester in July (5f, good); caught wide when down the field at Chester last time but not sure he's handicapped to win.

Won Leicester maiden (5f, good) last month on stable debut; not at the top of his game at Chepstow next time (5f, good to soft; sole run on slow ground) but fourth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) since in first-time tongue-tie (retained); might not be far away if absence of hood isn't an issue.

Didn't need to improve to make a winning stable debut for Michael Keady in a Leicester maiden last month (5f, good); ran okay in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow last week but he will need more for the faster ground and/or new tongue-tie if he's to win this from a wide stall.

Form & Verdict
Better with each start in Ireland this spring, as he dropped in trip, and his new trainer's record with new recruits alone entitles him to respect back from two months off; interesting to see how he goes in the market.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: James Owen

Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race.

Justified favouritism (6f, good) on seasonal debut, taking Goodwood record to 3-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; a possible danger provided his progress can be sustained away from that track.

Lot of racing last year and this, for two yards, and still only has a small-field AW novice win to her name; competitive again since switched to a visor but is fully exposed and had plenty of chances off this sort of mark.

Both runs last month, going close on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) but finishing 3l behind Magic Basma when third of seven at Carlisle (6f, good) a fortnight later; 7lb better off with her old rival so there shouldn't be much between them.

Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers.

Often pulled hard on the AW, hence the hood, and has blown the start twice since gelded and returned to turf (just behind Cressida Wildes latest); likely this mark is within range when things fall his way but there are risks involved.

Well placed to rattle off a fast-ground hat-trick last summer (7f/1m); this campaign has been harder work but he fared a bit better last time, is down to a winning mark and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; not solid, but a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue.
