Form & Verdict
Bred to improve as he goes up in trip but he wasn't for passing when hanging on to his lead over 6f at Newbury (good; first run since gelded) on recent handicap debut; likely type for further progress off 3lb higher.

A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; yet to add to his tally this season but has advanced his form, runner-up at York before a good C&D fourth last time out; firmly in the picture again.

Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher.

Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival.

Form & Verdict
Failed to find much in two 7f starts, including at Chester last time out, but he's 2-2 over 6f, finding plenty in the closing stages in a Redcar maiden and a Leicester seller (both on good to firm); a late foal who may well progress further with racing.

Form & Verdict
All three races at 5f, finishing well held as favourite for Hamilton debut in June; however, he's shaped quite nicely in these aids at Yarmouth and Thirsk since, taking a good hold but keeping on well enough to be worth a go at 6f; likely to be more competitive now handicapping.

Enjoyed an excellent winter on the AW, scoring three times at 6f, and comes here on the back of a good third of ten in 6f Lingfield handicap 19 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages; can play a prominent role again back on turf.

Triple-figure prices for all three starts, showing massive improvement from the front when fourth, close behind a subsequent winner, on turf debut at Windsor (6f, good) in July; did some damage to her opening mark there but speedy and can go well again.

Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate.

Newmarket trainer won this last year; short-headed at Windsor (6f, good) in July on second nursery start then went one better at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft); however, he failed to make an impact at Doncaster (6f, good) only last Friday and has to leave that run behind.

Form & Verdict
Not yet established her best trip but she's been back at 5f since running well for a long way over 6f at Newbury in June, fading after making the running here (good) in July; hampered and eased right down on handicap debut at Yarmouth since; others have less to prove at 6f.

Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating 14 rivals at Nottingham (6f, good) last month (two of these behind), but didn't seem suited by the drop to 5f when fourth of nine there (good) 17 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and a major player back up in trip.
