Showed some promise when sixth on Goodwood debut (6f, good) but she's taken three backward steps since and was last of eight on recent nursery debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW); has something to prove and she needs a transformation back on turf.

Showed some promise when sixth on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) but not so good in two starts since (reported to have hung right on both occasions); now switches to AW for handicap debut and she is closely related to a winner over 1m at this track.

J: Luke Morris

Showed some promise with her sixth-place finish, despite being hindered by an awkward start, at Goodwood (6f, good); disappointing favourite, hanging right, at Newbury (good to firm) since but it's too soon to write her off; may still do better.

Form & Verdict
No progress in five starts but he's run respectably in two nurseries, more recently when fifth of 12 at Newbury (7f, good) 18 days ago; cheekpieces are now added and he could get involved if he can find some extra spark back in trip.

Sole win from 17 races was on Kempton AW (6f) in January; new yard when back on turf for last three outings, not far away in two of those but better is needed to win this; his only two attempts over this far did not convince.

Won at Kempton (6f, AW) in January and he's on a good mark on his peak AW form; however, he hasn't been at his best back on turf on his first two outings for this stable, and is 0-9 on grass.

J: Rossa Ryan

Kept busy by previous yard, getting off the mark on Kempton AW (6f) in January; inevitably more exposed than some but he acts on turf and ran well for a long way over C&D this month for his new yard; a likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Won a Catterick nursery (6f, good to soft) in July; not seen to quite the same effect in three subsequent runs but she chased home an improver here (5.3f) last time and this return to slower ground looks a positive; in the mix back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in her qualifying runs but she looked a different proposition on nursery debut when landing a gamble over C&D (good; 11-8 favourite) last month; up 4lb for that success but she showed a good attitude to beat Could Be The Move and is open to more progress; all of her runs have been on good/good to firm but she's a half-sister to some soft ground winners.

Successful handicap debut at Brighton (6f, good) in August; that wasn't competitive but she ran well on her final 2yo starts there and 1m stretched her at Bath on comeback; shouldn't rule out back at 6f.

0-6 but she ran her best race so far when a front-running second behind Arvana Belle over C&D 15 days ago; has a 3lb swing in the weights with her old rival and she could make another bold bid; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.
