Form & Verdict
Similar form in RPR terms when nearer last than first in sprint maiden/novices on fast ground; subsequent gelding operation and the fitting of cheekpieces could help on nursery debut and trainer has healthy 27% strike-rate (+£28.33) at the track.

Has had plenty of chances but still a maiden (0-12); third to Karakula Dancer at Kempton (1m; beaten over 1l) on penultimate start before a lacklustre effort at Lingfield (1m2f; last of seven) latest; back in trip but others make more appeal.

Consistent performer but he has had his limitations exposed at up to 8.6f; latest Kempton third came off this mark and any improvement for the new, longer trip will see him bang there.

Maiden who is developing into a consistent sort, albeit his thirditis this year reflects a lack of progress; surrounded by possible improvers in this field but is a solid contender on form.

Form & Verdict
No match for front pair but just missed third over C&D 13 days ago (just about best form); fair chance she can find extra now tackling a nursery for yard that took this in 2022 and 2024.

Six-race maiden; not beaten that far when fifth of eight on seasonal/stable debut at Chester (7f, good) last month, but struggled to get competitive at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time hood) last time; no headgear today.

Five-race maiden; beaten 2l when second of four at Ffos Las (6f, good) last summer on her final start for David Evans; held on her stable debut at Chester (7f) last time but that was her first start for 346 days and she may take a step forward now down in grade; hood applied for her AW debut.

2 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Improver from low base in maiden/novice company, not beaten far last time despite seemingly unsuited by the sharp track; of interest for a yard that has taken three of the last six runnings of this; like Chilliconcarneigh, he's been gelded and sports cheekpieces on nursery debut.

Off the mark in a C&D handicap last week (good); has stiffer task with his penalty and was withdrawn on account of fast ground last month, but worth considering.

T: John Ryan

Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f.

Form & Verdict
Good second to a subsequent winner on nursery debut this month and got the better of the favourite, despite hanging, when breaking her duck next time (both 6f, good to soft); sound claims up just 3lb.

Won a Catterick nursery (6f, good to soft) in July; not seen to quite the same effect in three subsequent runs but she chased home an improver here (5.3f) last time and this return to slower ground looks a positive; in the mix back up in trip.

Tough task first two starts and possibly resented the hood when a place behind Chilliconcarneigh last time (carried his head awkwardly; connections leave the hood off here); better expected in this nursery.

Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal.
