Form & Verdict
Turf wins at 5f and 7f on soft; has raced over those trips and 6f to no avail this year but he ran better than the bare result on yard debut in a Racing League race at Southwell (6f) last week, hampered early then raced wide from high draw but kept on; due 2lb drop but he's already 12lb lower than his October win last year; cheekpieces return; interesting.

Coaxed back to form by James Owen last autumn; had an unsuccessful stint in the Middle East over the winter but returned to Owen and won handicaps at Leicester (6f) and Salisbury (5f) in the spring; sold for 25,000gns last month; looks on a tough mark ahead of his stable debut.

Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query.

Form & Verdict
Consistent over 6f on turf, and he ran another sound race when a close third of nine at Haydock (first-time tongue-tie, retained) in July, but proving hard to win with off highish mark; 0-3 on AW but that was when qualifying and with two AW-winning siblings the return to sand could suit.

Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more.

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.

Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.
