Won his first two starts in novice company over 6f, both at Ripon; was poor over the same C&D last time in a Listed contest as 6/5 fav'; has to rebound up in trip.

£200,000 breeze-up purchase who comfortably saw off three rivals when sent off at 2-5 for his C&D debut (good) 18 days ago; an entry in the Group 1 Middle Park suggests he's well regarded by a stable which won this last year with a subsequent Listed winner.

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.

Has mostly run with credit since winning at Thirsk (5f, good) on her second start, including when sixth of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on Saturday, doing best of those who raced on her side; will do well to make an impact at this level, though.

Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider.

Anaisa

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that.

Pontefract debut winner (5f, good) in April and beaten just over a length into fifth of 19 in a York nursery (6f, good to firm) on Wednesday; was racing off a mark of just 74 there, however, and Listed company appeared too warm for her at the same track back in May (behind Saucy Jane).

Won on debut here (5f, good) last April and close second to Anaisa in Listed race at Ripon in August (6f, good; albeit weak form for the grade); disappointing in nursery at Carlisle shortly after and she's 9lb higher for this return to action, but she's not ruled out for a trainer among the winners.

Record is only 1-12; well treated on best efforts but is starting to go the wrong way and ran to nowhere near her rating in 5f seller most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time cheekpieces.

Won Beverley maiden (soft; debut) and Chester nursery (good to soft) last term; again scored on first start of the year when taking AW handicap (also 5f) in March; possibly found 6f a stretch again when disappointing at Chester last Wednesday but this looks too warm even if she does get back to her best.
