Form & Verdict
Well held in two runs for Ralph Beckett in the first half of last year and again in two starts upped to this trip in early summer; yard broke a long losing run with Flat runners on Monday but it would be a surprise to see him follow suit.

Fair maiden on the Flat; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn but last month's keeping-on fifth at Hereford (2m, soft) was quite encouraging and he's open to further improvement on this handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent maiden who's given a try in a third form of headgear; best efforts have come on faster ground than he's likely to face here and he'll need to settle better if he's to see it out on his second attempt over this far.

17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied.

16-race maiden who was far from disgraced in a brief spell with Denis Quinn, including when beaten a fraction over 3l despite not getting much luck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last time; career-low mark and this return to 1m and turf is no problem on his stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Run exclusively on the AW over the past year and is yet to finish placed after nine starts on turf; has been in no sort of form of late, including in cheekpieces the past twice, and is hard to recommend.

Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up.

Made the breakthrough over fences with 10l win at Exeter (3m, good) last month; was beaten by 10l when third of four at Plumpton (3m2f) last time but that was behind two progressive 6yos and her jockey went for home a circuit too soon; still has potential as a staying chaser and she's in the mix off same mark as last time.
