6f maiden winner; couldn't hold on from the front in two 6f nurseries at Nottingham and needs a stronger finish, though this track might suit her.

Won twice as a 2yo, including a C&D nursery (soft) off a 7lb higher mark; only one effort of note this year and hopes rest on the new cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Quiet in 6f novices but found plenty for pressure to go down narrowly on his handicap debut on the AW; 6f looked too sharp at Kempton but might travel sweeter in the new cheekpieces.

Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f.

Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces.

Sent off market leader for both his nurseries since being gelded and was second in the first; last week's run was too bad to be true and the ability is there should blinkers buck his ideas up.

Gelded after three quick runs in the spring; unable to justify warm favouritism at Musselburgh on last month's nursery debut but he didn't enjoy a clear run through; winner hasn't advertised the form either but he's drawn on the rail and still has low mileage.

Runner-up in three of her five maidens and was nicely clear of the third last week at Beverley (5f, good to firm); front-runner with plenty of early speed and stepping up to 6f is slightly concerning.

Knocking firmly at the door prior to winning Chester novice (6f, good) this month and followed up in seller over this C&D (good); unproven on slow ground and further improvement is needed now back in a nursery under a penalty, but this front-runner is in top form and could make another bold bid.
