Form & Verdict
Looked sure to win races when second of nine behind the smart Zavateri on his Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) in June, but has been bitterly disappointing in three starts since; needs a resurgence, but he has been found a weak race for his nursery debut; blinkers given a go.

Didn't run badly here (extended 5f, good to firm) recently when tried in cheekpieces but he was behind three of these rivals so more needed.

Second to none other than Zavateri on his introduction at Salisbury (good to firm) in June; not matched that since and was beaten 17l when favourite for his nursery debut at Ffos Las (also 6f, heavy) three weeks ago; conditions a legitimate excuse that day and now swaps blinkers for cheekpieces.

Out of the frame in her first three starts, but she caught the eye when fifth of seven in a Nottingham novice (5f, good to soft) last time, shaping as though the return to this trip would suit; respected.

0-11 but has run well on two of her three starts this season, including over C&D and on latest start when 6l second to an improved winner at Lingfield (7f, good); she might not be far away.

Nine-race maiden but she posted an encouraging effort when fourth of 17 at Leicester (7f, good) on her stable debut eight days ago, doing best of those from off the pace and leaving the impression she's worth another go at 1m; holds claims.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Boasts a useful pedigree and fetched 80,000euros as a yearling; 20-1 and well beaten on last month's Kempton debut (6f) but open to improvement at some point.

Well held at big prices in three starts over 6f in the summer; brother to three multiple 5f winners and open to progress now switched to a nursery, but 6f on slow ground may not be an ideal scenario based on pedigree.

Gelded over the winter and it was a fine start for Christopher Mason when neck second of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) this month; likely has the pace to cope with this drop back to 5f and he's firmly in calculations.

Went close at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) on handicap debut but failed to back up that effort; left John O'Shea and had gelding operation since final 2yo run; enough to prove.
