Highly tried last year; has shown this mark is within range since handicapping this season, including from wide stalls at Chester; again might have been better drawn on this AW debut (dam did her winning for the yard on turf) in first-time headgear.

No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr a year ago but he made a bold bid from the front when second in a quite valuable handicap over 7.5f here (good to soft) a fortnight ago; same mark today and dangerous if able to get loose on the front end again.

No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower.

42,000gns foal; first foal of a maiden sister to 5f-7f winner Motawaazy; stable's juveniles to have run this year have all finished unplaced but they emerged from a slump in the week and he's worth a market check.

Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit.

Couldn't cope with the winner, who did the form no harm with a fine run at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, but clear of the third on last month's Hamilton debut (5f, good); looked as though the experience would bring him on and he's a strong contender now upped in trip.
