2 yo Gelding

Won three times at two, including at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; however, he's struggled in three starts since (two this year) and drops back in trip with a bit to prove.

Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade.

Ran 12 times as a 2yo, winning three times; the ground may have been too soft when down the field at Newbury on his final run last year but likely a few of these will have his measure.

Form & Verdict
Big chance on the form she showed at Newbury and Newmarket in midsummer (both 6f, good to firm) but she hasn't hit the same heights on her last three starts; sports a first-time hood now switching back to a nursery.

Early promise for previous yard but didn't progress and it's been a struggle off high marks since switched to handicaps; dropping steadily in the weights and down in grade so may do better; has worn a hood, first-time cheekpieces today.

Six-race maiden who hasn't progressed from his 6f Newbury third in July; the return to 6f may help after fading late over 7f at Brighton latest but Charles Bishop sides with stablemate Kesta.

Five-race maiden but was close third in Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) in July and she ran respectably when third of five in a Sandown nursery (7f, soft) 16 days ago; sets a fair standard back in a maiden and yard is 25% with 2yos here in recent years; key player.
