Made all for his two wins over 6f, collecting by 4l in a Ripon novice and nearly as far in a nursery last week at Haydock; penalised accordingly but looks firmly on the upgrade.

Campaigned mostly over 6f but gives the impression this return to 5f may prove beneficial and thus looks an interesting contender off a mark 7lb lower than his peak one; proved resurgent behind a stronger finisher at Kempton (AW) last time.

Not matched his 2yo best in two runs this year but he drops into a Class 4 and today's switch to AW could suit; well treated if reviving.

Two 6f wins (both on good) last summer but unable to maintain progress and he was tried in cheekpieces last September; never involved on recent comeback at Newmarket but he may come on plenty on just his second run since wind surgery with a tongue-tie fitted.

Form & Verdict
Never got involved in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown (5f) but had posted a useful RPR in winning her novice on the AW over 6f the time before; her debut run here was also likeable; brings potential into nurseries.

She ran well in both C&D starts last year, winning a fillies' novice last May and a close fifth in a Group 3 in September; well held in two turf handicaps this year, the latest nine days ago, but drops in class today and a revival isn't out of the question.

Won twice over 6f as a 2yo, including an Ascot nursery off 4lb lower; she needs to leave her Newmarket reappearance well behind if she is come out on top this time.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Richard Hughes

Gained her handicap success at a major track (6f) but against only three rivals and faces a tougher scenario in this deeper field; 4lb rise for final effort (fifth in substandard AW Group 3) adds to the difficulty; on a positive note, there is a chance she can still improve further.

Form & Verdict
The RPR he recorded in winning at Hamilton (6f, good; beat subsequent winner) bodes well with a view to this initial mark and it was always going to be tough in the Windsor Castle; respected.

Off the mark in Hamilton maiden (good; second start) in June and won a Haydock nursery (also 6f; good to firm) in August; first attempt at 7f came in a warm York handicap and looked like that experiment was worth repeating back at 6f last time; respected on AW debut.

Made it two wins from his five starts when landing Haydock nursery (6f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division at York since but in a hotter race than this; has shown promise on good to soft; has a chance.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in two of his three qualifying runs and rain-hit ground might not have suited when fourth of five on last week's nursery debut at Haydock; steps up to 6f for the first time and that could also assist.

Heavy-ground winner as 2yo; started the year with a 5f Southwell AW win but the style of that success, when stamina finally came into play after he was niggled along from some way out, suggests others will have brighter early speed on the return to 5f; tongue-tie added.
