Form & Verdict
Back off his last winning mark, but has enjoyed rather more success on the AW (4-13) than on turf (1-20) which leaves him with a bit to prove.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Straightforward gelding who's fine on any surface and generally consistent; there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, and Kylian may be his trainer's best chance.

Michaelas Boy

J: Charles Bishop

Two wins and a close second to his name in five runs over C&D; weighted to his best currently, following a Yarmouth win off 3lb lower in June, and Kylian may be his trainer's best shout.

Form & Verdict
Hit and miss, but useful on his day as he showed when winning well at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April and when second of five behind an improver at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; down 1lb and could play a part on his best form.

Shrugged off some below-par runs when third of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago and he's now back on the mark he defied at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in May; 0-5 on AW but a creditable fourth over C&D on his yard debut in the spring; Danny Tudhope is not a regular booking for the stable.

Form & Verdict
Never out of the first three in seven starts, making a winning reappearance in a Catterick novice (5f, good) in May and going down by only a neck in a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 1lb but still a major player.

J: Jack Dace

He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again.

Most consistent since his debut a year ago (22331323); gelded since beaten two necks into third of four at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) a month ago; possesses plenty of early pace and this sharp track may prove ideal.

Form & Verdict
Made just about all to land a four-runner Catterick maiden (5f, soft) for Roger Fell last October; fourth of seven on his reappearance/stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month and will need to improve on that now switched to a handicap.

J: Billy Garritty

Dual turf winner (only run once on the AW) who pulled hard back in the visor and didn't see it out on rain-softened ground for this, his third yard, at Ayr last time (behind Opal Storm); down to a career-low mark now.

Best effort since wining a Southwell handicap (5f, AW) in January when second of seven at Bath (5.7f, good) last month, but well held at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; needs to bounce back with a tongue-tie added to the usual hood.

Having dropped down the weights he ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago and is now another 1lb lower; however, he needs something extra and is just 1-16 on turf as opposed to 4-14 on AW.
