Two runs over sprint trips, showing better form when fourth of 11 in a 6f novice at York 12 days ago; should stay this far and he sets the standard with further progress likely.

Just third of five in funny race at Newcastle last time and is in danger of becoming exposed, especially as stepping up to 1m promised to unlock more; connections opt for more severe headgear this time.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Charlie Johnston

Prominent racer; readily saw off his two rivals in a 7f novice at Chelmsford in June and his first two nursery runs were both solid efforts; well beaten at York six weeks ago and now moves up in distance with cheekpieces added; considered.

Form & Verdict
Found wanting for pace in the closing stages of a 7f maiden at Leicester last week (sent off at 12-1); should be more streetwise this time and bred to do better.

A fair 1m juvenile maiden for Sean Woods; beat only one for his new yard on his return in 1m Musselburgh handicap though; others appeal more.

Consistent rather than progressive in eight starts last year, the latest when fourth of seven on stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November; more will be needed back from five months off.

Placed four times in maiden/novice company from 7f to 1m (including on the AW) but rather disappointing when sixth of eight on handicap debut at Yarmouth last month (7f, good to soft); blinkers now tried.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to a 7f AW winner so quite possible she'll leave last month's Redcar debut (6f, good to firm; 80-1) behind her; worth market check.

0-8 but mainly over 7f/1m and she shaped as if the drop back to 6f may suit when fourth of 12 over 7f at Wolverhampton ten days ago, leading until inside the final furlong; also equipped with a first-time tongue-tie; gets the vote.

Bumped into an improver when second at Newcastle (7f) last month and is of interest if judged on that performance but was well beaten on turf a fortnight ago and is now 0-7.

Arrives on the back of a good second of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; yard is going well so she's a player off an unchanged mark.
