Gone backwards from a decent spring debut, losing his action at Pontefract and then, having been gelded, hanging left on Tapeta; has a bit to prove now.

Won in first-time cheekpieces here in May, in between two lesser C&D efforts; today's supporters are seemingly relying on a first-time visor having the same transformative effect.

Faded over C&D on his yard debut following a break and has been kept to 6f since, improving for the fitting of cheekpieces when winning at Ripon (good) in May; in nothing like the same form in two starts since, though.

Rare 2yo runner for the yard who ran respectably on his nursery debut and first crack at this trip, having been gelded, early in the month (Zoumluzzi behind); one to consider.

6f win here in July; had a torrid run through a Carlisle handicap last month and quickly made amends when scoring easily at Beverley (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise demands further progress but likely there is more in the tank.

6f win at Pontefract in July and followed it with a solid third at Chepstow last month (again 6f, good to firm); 11th of 12 at Carlisle (5f, good) 13 days ago but that doesn't tell the tale as he had nowhere to go as the race was unfolding, eventually allowed to come home in his own time; one to consider with cheekpieces now added.

Came back to form on his third start for this yard when winning at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in July before a respectable third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; claims if handling the drop back to 5f but he isn't proven on ground slower than good.

Half-sister to two useful 2yo winners who again started a three-figure price when offering more in a 6f novice late last month; wouldn't need to improve much on that in an ordinary nursery.

Positives to take from her two Thirsk efforts (6f-7f) but a representative of her trainer had no explanation for the poor run at Musselburgh (1m, good; first attempt at trip) latest; drops back to 6f from an easing mark; isn't discounted.

Moderate form in five starts for Nigel Tinkler, finishing around 4l behind Espona Bay when last of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January; blinkers added on stable debut and a transformation is required.

Pacey filly; has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f; runner-up) and Beverley (5f; third); seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit; likely to give her running and have a say.
