Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner; second at Bath (11.5f, good to firm) in April; left James Owen for 5,500gns after that and made a respectable stable debut when fifth of ten at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; just one win on turf but he's more solid than most.

Formerly effective on AW but has produced best results for current stable on turf; regressive form since returned to AW started with a modest third over C&D (sole 2m attempt).

Form & Verdict
Poor strike-rate but she put some moderate hurdle and Flat runs behind her when fourth of 11 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) this month; she'd have a big say if building on it from this career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden; beaten just over 18l at Nottingham (1m2f, good; outpaced) last time but half that margin was taken up by the impressive winner, who's gone in again since; first-time blinkers worn that day are swiftly ditched and he's probably ready for this step up in trip; not ruled out.

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick.

Dual-purpose performer who got off the mark at the 19th attempt when landing classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; got an easy lead but he justified support in good style and they were strung out behind him; key player.

Form & Verdict
0-18; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified (1m4f) in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; hasn't matched that since, tailed off over 7f last time, and that headgear combination is now swapped for a hood (worn once for previous connections); hard to fancy.

T: Tony Carroll

Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close.

Form & Verdict
23-race maiden under both codes; best Flat form around this time last year when placed on turf (good) and AW at 1m2f; respectable effort when third over 1m4f at Southwell (AW) when last seen in this sphere in March; has been hurdling; gets first-time cheekpieces.

J: Brian Hughes

T: James Moffatt

Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt.

Form & Verdict
All four Flat starts on AW; fair effort when fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f) in April and matched that form when beaten just over 4l on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f; first-time cheekpieces) one month ago; unexposed in Flat handicaps and this good-ground bumper runner-up should be fine on the forecast surface.

No win in her first 18 starts but she made the breakthrough when storming 7l clear in a Chelmsford handicap (1m5f) last week; now drops back to 1m4f but she hit a personal best with that success and is a major player again on this switch to a classified event.
