Form & Verdict
Hooded in both runs; showed plenty of promise when third at Kempton (6f, AW) in June and he built on that with his front-running third behind an odds-on rival at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good); sets the standard on that form and he's a big player back in calmer waters.

Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) four weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term and taking record to 3-11; may have further progress in him over this trip; major player.

Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting.

J: James Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Emphatic winner of handicap debut on Southwell AW (6f) in March; found Group 3 and Listed races too daunting on next two starts and he made only modest late headway into mid-division over 5f at Royal Ascot (40-1; without regular hood, as today); return to 6f should suit but the same applies to others from that race.

15,000gns yearling; ran well for a long way when third of six on C&D debut (good to soft) last month, but he has plenty to find in this stronger race and could be one for further down the line.

Has shown some ability with his couple of third-place finishes at Epsom (7f); may show improvement switched to this sphere, being a brother to a triple AW winner; interesting contender.

0-5 but she's finished placed in her last four runs and was only beaten a nose at Ripon (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; found more progress with that bold bid and she's respected on this drop back in trip.

Won Epsom maiden in nine-race juvenile campaign and she was back on the scoresheet when taking Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good) in May; hasn't matched that since and has stamina to prove on this second crack at 1m4f.

Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers.

Said to have run flat at Chester before over-racing and not seeing out 1m4f last time; it's likely this mark is within range but she had plenty of racing last year and has again this term, and she's vulnerable to improvers now.

Aclaim filly who was a promising third on Yarmouth debut (7f, good to soft) last month; held in third again when favourite at Kempton last Tuesday, but the step up to 1m may have stretched her and she's open to progress back at this trip; dangerous.

Appears to have a good chance on these terms, but she is proving more consistent than progressive and could only manage fourth of eight when sent off 4-7 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month (two heads behind Mystic Music); should again run her race, but far from solid.

Promising debut third at Yarmouth (7f) for previous trainer and can't be entirely blamed for later defeats that year; two fair efforts for new yard, finding only a well-supported newcomer too good at Ripon (1m, good to firm) recently; looks competitive under Billy Loughnane, who's 1-4 for the yard.

Went backwards for Eve Johnson Houghton last year before missing 11 months; doubtful she achieved much when second of three to an easy, short-priced winner at Thirsk recently (7f) but she's entitled to have come on for that.
