Can leads; dual winner at two; below best over 5f at Goodwood last time but had been running well in 6f handicaps and those were stronger races; stall 1 might not be ideal but enters the reckoning.

Often leads; won first two juvenile starts (extended 5f and 6f); placed only once in three 6f starts this year but he remains capable of better and, following a flagging fifth of 13 at Newmarket recently, he's worth a look in this first attempt over a bare 5f for yard that won this in 2021.

Hugely progressive this year, winning 5f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Thirsk before excelling herself when second to Dickensian in a Listed event at York (5f, good) five weeks ago; a 5lb rise isn't ideal but she's on the up and this strong-travelling filly appeals as the type to take well to the demands of this race.

Improving filly who made all in Thirsk novice (6f, good) on her final start of last term and carried on the good work when making a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March; completed the hat-trick with best effort yet in Thirsk handicap (5f, good) last month and she's not discounted in her bid for the four-timer representing last year's winning yard.

Space Blues half-sister to four winners; ran green at a biggish price at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; 25-1) in June but she finished well to go close behind a previous winner; that was a bright start and the form was boosted when the third had a near-miss on her next run; interesting contender.

Gained her breakthrough when dropped to 6f (from 8.3f) at Newmarket (good to firm) in June and ran at least as well when running-on third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month; slightly disappointing on latest outing but still considered on this move back up to 7f.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; couldn't pose a serious threat when third at Leicester last time but she finished well and that was an eye-catching effort; still unexposed as a sprint handicapper and has claims if she gets a good pace to aim at.

Second to none other than Zavateri on his introduction at Salisbury (good to firm) in June; not matched that since and was beaten 17l when favourite for his nursery debut at Ffos Las (also 6f, heavy) three weeks ago; conditions a legitimate excuse that day and now swaps blinkers for cheekpieces.
