Made his breakthrough (sixth attempt) when coming from rear to justify support in a nursery at Epsom (7f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success and he's open to more progress; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Hit traffic when making a promising debut in June; no progress but solid efforts the next twice, including when upped to 7f and second at Wolverhampton (AW) last time; didn't see it out as well as the winner that day and cheekpieces go on for this nursery debut; opening mark just fair but still respected.

Placed in her first three starts over 6f/7f on turf/AW last summer, but has beaten a total of one rival in her four handicaps (some headgear in all four); this is her first go at 5f and a return to good to firm might help.

Form & Verdict
Modest form until she found a big chunk of improvement when stepped up to this trip and first of ten at Chepstow (14-1; made all) in July; raced freely when weakening into fourth at Newbury (also good to firm) on nursery debut three weeks ago; the type to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Slow learner but gradual improvement in three qualifying runs between 5f and 7f; gelded and didn't carry that progress over to his first nursery when fourth of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm; Gascony second, Booziebrunch fifth) one month ago; still didn't look the finished article that day and will likely cop on at some point; gets first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.

Got back on the scoresheet with a runaway win over two rivals at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June; held in another small-field event at Epsom last time but that was a solid front-running effort behind an improver; still unexposed at this trip and he should be in the mix again back on AW.

J: Tom Marquand

T: S Woods

Reliable 3yo whose two wins (from 13 races) were in very small fields, latterly when making all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a runaway win and the first time he's made the running, but he's 5lb higher today in what looks a more competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Getting the hang of things and it was her best effort yet when fifth of eight in a Doncaster novice (7f, soft) three weeks ago; hasn't been seeing out 7f but maybe getting back on this forecast faster ground will help; doesn't look chucked in on nursery debut but probably capable of better again.
