Sets the standard on his second-place finishes over 6f and the latest effort, at Hamilton, suggests this drop in trip is worth exploring; likely to go one better.

Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C&D last month; possibilities.

Didn't have to improve to win a four-runner Musselburgh maiden last July (5f, good; at 1-6); creditable seventh in the Super Sprint at Newbury 18 days later; absent since; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan.

Confirmed promise of first two outings when readily landing the odds in Musselburgh maiden (5f, good) 18 days ago; may still be unexposed but he has a good deal more on his plate in this field.

Has a couple of 5f 2yo winners on dam's side; only sixth of seven in Hamilton maiden over this trip but seemed to need the run; may improve.

16-race maiden; would have a sound chance on her two seconds at Musselburgh off much higher marks last August/September but didn't progress on the AW in the winter; could go well back on turf after a 130-day break.

Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid.

In the frame all seven starts (5f-6f), including five second-place finishes; gave it a good shot from the front at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago and has the ideal draw from which to attack here; big player.

No Nay Never filly has gone with some encouragement in her three outings to date, racing freely when third of five in 5f Hamilton maiden 20 days ago; can't be discounted on her nursery debut.

Held in fourth in both runs and latest was in a four-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good), but she wasn't beaten far and that was a major step forward from her debut effort; this is no easy task against Utmost Respect but she's second best on the figures and is open to more progress.
