Form & Verdict
Entitled to have needed his first run in more than a year at Catterick a fortnight ago and proved easy to back; that was on a par with his best work and any rain would suit but he'll need to build on it having a first crack at 5f.

J: Daniel Tudhope

Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at.

Form & Verdict
Debut second for Sylvester Kirk here (5.7f) last summer has been well advertised since; blew away the opposition in a first-time hood on his AW comeback, having been gelded, and it's hard to know how good he may turn out currently.

Didn't need to improve on last autumn's debut second to win a small-field Catterick sprint (soft) next time but was quite impressive there; will find this rather tougher under a penalty for his new yard after seven months off.

Scrambled home in a 5f handicap at Hamilton in May and has finished third in two of his three starts since, the latest over C&D last month; this is his first Class 6 run since the Hamilton win and he needs taking seriously.

0-12 but very nearly got off the mark at Bath (1m, heavy) last month and again ran well when 2l third of 11 at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; can be in the mix and very testing conditions would boost her claims.

Ploughed through deep ground when upped to 1m at Bath this month, finding just a stablemate too strong; 1m2f on similar ground was perhaps a step too far last time; can get back on track if taking to AW.
