Form & Verdict
Improved on his maiden/novice form when making all in a small-field event at Yarmouth last week (5f, good to soft; visored first time); didn't look entirely straightforward there and that wasn't a strong race but neither is this; fast ground an unknown.

J: P J McDonald

T: Michael Bell

Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop.

J: P J McDonald

T: Michael Bell

Landed a nursery on his turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in July with first-time visor (retained since) and followed up in a match at Bath (5f, firm) seven days later; has not been in the same form in his three starts since and still to prove he is as effective on AW.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Michael Bell

Had plausible excuses in Class 5 the last twice, hindered by wide trip back on AW latest; may be better judged on July turf wins that give him a 2-2 record in Class 6; possibilities returned to this level.

Form & Verdict
Had the advantage of the stands' rail when winning a Lingfield nursery last week (6f, good to soft), but she found plenty for pressure and beat Redditizio by further than Rajak did the following day; may improve further.

J: Oliver Searle

T: Rod Millman

Made all in four-runner event on nursery debut at Lingfield (6f) in July and repeated the trick in another small field at that track (5f, also good to soft) a fortnight later; couldn't dominate at Leicester next time but that was only eight days later and she's respected as one of just two previous winners in the field.

J: Lewis Edmunds

Lost a match at Bath but made all against the favoured stands' rail in her other two nurseries at Lingfield, beating two of these and two others emphatically last week; carries 6lb penalty but is 2lb well in; folly to rule out.

Redditizio was one of her three rivals when winning here over 6f but then well beaten in a match at Bath; the form of both those races suggest Stan Moore's filly could have her measure here.
