Form & Verdict
1-5 as a 2yo, the win gained in fast-ground Bath maiden (5.7f); raced a bit too freely but shaped pretty well before fading into fifth on last month's seasonal debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm); big player if that recent outing brought him on.

Consistent, straightforward 5f specialist who made it 2-2 on turf here under Olivia Haines in July off 5lb lower; another in-form effort off his revised mark since but does have to prove he's as effective on the AW.

Front-runner who won over C&D last summer and was a creditable second in a Class 4 at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw but he's 1lb lower than last time and is a big player if he can repeat that form.

Regressive 9yo who left Adrian Nicholls after a below-par run last month; now only 1lb higher than when close second of 17 on seasonal debut at Doncaster (5f, good), though, and might have been perked up by his new regime.

Still a maiden after 14 run but scores very high marks for consistency, having made the frame in all ten handicaps (including a close third over C&D); fitted with first-time tongue-tie today; likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Plenty of solid efforts in defeat to go with her three C&D wins, the last of which came off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been held a couple of times since a Bath victory in May and looks weighted to her best back from a six-week break.
