2-2 in AW novices last year and she retained her unbeaten record on handicap debut at Doncaster (also 6f, good to firm) in May; drop to 5f and soft ground didn't see her replicate her best in Ayr Listed event four weeks ago but better can be expected in this scenario.

Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly.

0-11 but he has threatened to win a small race and his latest Wolverhampton third came in a race where he was parked out wide for much of the contest; dropped 1lb and he's a solid candidate, for all he is unraced on ground slower than good.

He went close at Thirsk (5f, good) in June and has continued to run with credit; raced on a different part of the track to the front pair when third last time and another solid effort looks very likely.

Back on same mark as for breakthrough win at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March but was out of form when last seen in spring/summer; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; needs 79-day break to have done him good.

Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win at Chelmsford under Freddie Robson; has lost his way since (cheekpieces off here) but is back on the mark he defied at Chelmsford so a revival wouldn't surprise in this uncompetitive race.

Overall record of 1-24 but he's run plenty of good races this season including a win at Chepstow (1m, good) in July; didn't fire back at that track (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago but this drop back in trip is a positive and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid from good draw.

Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat.
