Form & Verdict
Sea The Stars filly out of a smart 1m-10.5f winner; well held in her qualifying runs but she found plenty of improvement on handicap debut when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; 15-8 favourite) on Thursday; turns out quickly off the same mark and she's a big player if she can repeat that latest form.

J: Darragh Keenan

Completed a double with her dominant display at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; held as favourite in three runs since but that includes a near-miss at Epsom, and she had some traffic issues at Leicester last time; still has potential after only nine starts and she's not ruled out at this new trip.

J: Daniel Muscutt

Impressive from the front at Yarmouth in July but has since been turned over twice at odds-on, latterly when said to have hung left at Sandown; another 1lb higher today and has to prove she hasn't reached her ceiling.

T: James Fanshawe

Wins at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) this summer before short-head second at Epsom (1m2f, good) last time; this front-running 3yo has a progressive profile and can make a bold bid under the in-form Paul Hainey.

Form & Verdict
Finished in rear in three 7f novice events this spring but she now goes handicapping and is a possible improver on this step up in trip; needs watching in market for in-form yard.

Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims.

J: Jonny Peate

Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence.

3 yo Colt

OR: 59

Form & Verdict
Hinted at promise as 2yo but backward steps in three middle-distance handicaps and latest was at Lingfield (11.6f) last Saturday; that trip may have stretched him but he's not finished closer than 6l to a winner so far and others are more convincing.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: William Knight

14-race maiden but he's returned from a break with two placed efforts in 1m4f handicaps (AW) this spring; on same mark at for his third at Lingfield last time and he's a big player if he responds well to first-time cheekpieces.

J: Luke Morris

T: William Knight

Still seeking his first win after 13 attempts but he has finished second on three occasions, including at Wolverhampton on his seasonal return three weeks ago (1m4f; hooded first time); that was a costly reverse for those that backed him into 11-10f but he didn't do a great deal wrong and the subsequent wins of the first and third give the form some ballast; major player with the hood now discarded.

J: Oisin Murphy

Yet to score but has posted some solid efforts since June, including when second over C&D in September; raced freely when disappointing at Southwell the following month but the added hood might help and Oisin Murphy's booking suggests he's ready for this return.

Form & Verdict
0-7 but has form figures of 3332 in handicaps and he rallied when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) on Thursday; should give it another good shot off the same mark and he's respected on this switch to Tapeta.

0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here.
