Form & Verdict
Virtually tailed off on his debut at Leicester in May but much better the next twice, beaten less than 4l when 200-1 then fifth of ten (also Haydock, 7f, good) with a tongue-tie fitted last time; has been missing the break and can do better if getting away on terms; nursery debut.

A 16-1 winner on nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); back to form upped to 1m on last two starts, with an excellent second at Ripon (1m, good; probably acts on soft) on latest; by a sprinter out of 1m6f winner; others perhaps are a little less exposed.

Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly.

Form & Verdict
All starts at 6f; stepped forward from debut when fifth of nine at Salisbury (good to firm) in June but didn't build on that when beating one home at Chester (good) 18 days later; there's stamina in the family, however, and he shapes like this step up in trip will unlock more; nursery debut for last year's winning yard.

Slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f; gelded and didn't carry that progress over to his first nursery when fourth of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm; Gascony second, Booziebrunch fifth) one month ago; still didn't look the finished article that day and will likely cop on at some point; gets first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.

Outpaced over 5f (good to firm) on his debut in April and he's marginally improved his RPRs going up in trip on AW since, third of nine behind a Godolphin hotpot at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; should be fine back on turf now handicapping.

All the rage before running green and flopping on his debut at Newmarket in April (5f, good; 6-4); improved since, finishing fourth of eight at Haydock then beaten less than 2l at Chepstow (also 6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; pedigree suggests 7f should be fine and he enters handicaps on the up.

Similar profile to This Guy, having flopped when favourite on debut before improving in her next two starts, last time beaten less than 2l when fourth of nine at Goodwood (6f, good); dam won over 1m2f and this step up in trip promises to suit; player on nursery debut.

Application of headgear yielded an upturn in fortunes but she was still springing a surprise when winning the 20-runner £100,000 Tattersalls Somerville Auction at Newmarket (6f; 33-1) in August; failed to stay 7f in Sweden (fourth) latest; current mark looks perfectly fair if taking to AW.

0-5; ran well to be second in a Ripon nursery (6f; first-time cheekpieces) but that would suggest her current mark is about right and therefore has something to find with the pick of these; now blinkered.
