J: Kieran Shoemark

Signed off for the Crisfords with a 1m6f win on the AW in a Class 4 handicap, in first-time blinkers; well held over 2m here on yard debut (tried cheekpieces) and this is highly ambitious on all the figures.

Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to a 1m2f Listed winner and he's out of a Yorkshire/Irish Oaks winner; made a promising start when fourth at Windsor last month and he built on that when going close behind an odds-on rival at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress upped in trip; been gelded since last run.

Made all in workmanlike fashion when 5-6 in a Haydock maiden (1m4f, good) in June on third start; handicap debut (1m4f, AW debut) next time was creditable on form but he hung markedly left; last of 13 with blinkers at Glorious Goodwood (40-1) 13 days ago and now tries cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred.

Runner-up on handicap debut at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last September and good third at Musselburgh (2m, good) in October; this lightly raced 4yo is not written off today but it's his first outing since a heavy defeat at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in November, so there are questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Golden Horn filly out of a 1m-1m4f winner (including Listed; 107); ran green on Goodwood debut (1m2f, good) last month but was making some headway when she got hampered inside the final furlong; shaped better than the bare facts in that race and she could show a lot more on this step up in trip.

J: Tabitha Worsley

T: Dylan Cunha

Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here.

Has taken a marked step forward since switched to handicaps, going close when second over C&D and backing that up with an even better effort when filling the same position at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) seven days ago; another to consider.
