Form & Verdict
Won by a neck at York and ridden out to score again when 1-4 at Lingfield (again 5f good to firm) in another novice a fortnight later; raced freely in both races but knuckled down to get the job done and this Group 2 Lowther entry looks promising.

Unsuited by 6f on soft ground in Ayr Group 3 last time; 3-3 over 5f otherwise, dead-heating in nursery the final time; however, has plenty to find on ratings returned to this distance.

Novice wins on first two starts (5f, good to firm) and remains unbeaten having dead-heated in small-field Windsor nursery (5f, good to firm) in July; others have more substance to their form but the big-field scenario should suit this headstrong sort, who may improve for 6f; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Won a Brighton maiden (good to firm) on second start; came up short in his four runs since but not by much in a five-runner nursery at Haydock (5f, good) ten days ago, registering his best form, and he's just 2lb higher today.

Won three times at two, including at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; however, he's struggled in three starts since (two this year) and drops back in trip with a bit to prove.

Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade.

Ran 12 times as a 2yo, winning three times; the ground may have been too soft when down the field at Newbury on his final run last year but likely a few of these will have his measure.

Form & Verdict
Much improved when winning by nearly 4l at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) on third start; back to that form when a close third of four off this mark on nursery debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, making the running for the second race in succession; should go well again.

Second of three when odds-on for her debut at Southwell and she beat the subsequent Queen Mary runner-up when winning by nearly 4l at Wolverhampton (also 5f, AW) on third start; flopped on turf in between but it's way too soon to write her off on this surface; now drops back to 5f having not looked to stay 6f last time; respected on this nursery debut.

Well held at odds-on in three-runner Southwell maiden on debut early last month; beaten 14l at Beverley next time but she really got her act together when finishing well for a clearcut success at Wolverhampton (5f) last Monday; has a penalty but she's open to more progress on this step up in trip and is strongly respected.

Form & Verdict
Won three-runner maiden at Southwell (5f, AW) on debut; looked all at sea at Chester next time and 250-1 when blinkered in a Royal Ascot Group 2 on latest outing, but those heavy defeats put her down the list on this nursery debut; same trainer but changed hands for 4,200gns 12 days ago.
