Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop.

Landed a nursery on his turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in July with first-time visor (retained since) and followed up in a match at Bath (5f, firm) seven days later; has not been in the same form in his three starts since and still to prove he is as effective on AW.

Has produced best efforts over 5f at Musselburgh, notably second-place finishes in two nursery attempts; chance of remaining competitive depends on whether she can transfer the form elsewhere.

0-17; didn't look entirely straightforward when fourth over C&D (Powernap runner-up) 12 days ago; she could strip fitter for that comeback run though, and it's possible the added cheekpieces may suit.

Eight-race maiden whose turf form since being gelded is inferior to a couple of his earlier efforts; chance of raising his game depends on how well he takes to new surface; belated handicap debut.

Early promise for James Horton last season but his campaign rather fizzled out; dropped away in the final 300yds at Haydock on his seasonal/stable debut three weeks ago but he may have needed the run and that was a 0-70; should last longer today.

Two good placed efforts at Chester in the spring; gelded after finishing down the field at Royal Ascot and subsequent efforts have been underwhelming; drops into a 0-60 - an uncompetitive one at that - and a revival isn't out of the question.
