Form & Verdict
Went close at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March but he's not gone on from that in three starts since, including when fifth of ten back there 23 days ago (6f); now returns to turf and drops back to 5f on stable debut (left Clive Cox) having been purchased for 25,000gns; betting should be informative.

9st 12lb

Made a winning start for this yard at Leicester (5f) last July but he's offered little in 5f handicaps at Lingfield and Newmarket this summer; others appeal more.

Won a Leicester maiden (5f, good) on stable debut last July but he struggled in handicaps in his final two runs last season; overall record is now 1-10 and he has something to prove after 277 days off.

40,000euros foal, 70,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners including Real Appeal (5f-1m including Group 2; RPR 114); ran green but he wasn't beaten far when third of four on recent debut at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; 7-4); there's a good chance he'll improve and he's a leading contender.

Star Of Mali

9st 7lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: James Tate

Below best on this track in November but he had won in good style over C&D the time before and seemed to appreciate the return to Southwell (7f) last month when he scored by overhauling one who has won both starts since (other subsequent winners behind); major player back up 3lb.

C&D win last October was a convincing one and he is only 2lb higher today; solid third at Wolverhampton when last seen in January; still has potential after just nine starts.

9st 6lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: James Tate

Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run.

3 yo Colt

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Placed in all three starts since joining this stable but they have been on quick ground, and he was tailed off on soft ground on his debut in September on his sole start for Sylvester Kirk; claims if handling any ease in the ground.

A maiden after nine starts but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when respectable sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; 3lb lower in a lower-grade race today; might be the answer.

The handicapper has been in command this summer and although he didn't run badly at Doncaster 19 days ago, he will need more for the switch to AW.

0-7; respectable comeback at Nottingham (5f, good; fourth, beaten 3l) in May, but hasn't built on that, including in blinkers (discarded) the last twice; tough to say how he'll fare on first go at 7f; safer options elsewhere.

Hasn't beaten many in three maidens over 5f-7f on turf/Tapeta; this may be more realistic on handicap debut and interesting to see if there is any support for her; yard also runs Stoneacre Girl.
