Progressive in maiden/novice events, going close at Carlisle (6f) in August; weakened quickly in a Doncaster sales race with cheekpieces added (retained) last time but that was a tough ask and he should make more of an impact with his sights lowered again.

Heading in the right direction, close second at Carlisle (6f, good) most recently; chance of going one better at this level depends on whether first-time headgear prompts significant further progress.

J: Sam James

155,000euros yearling; made a low-key start at Thirsk in July but he showed clear promise with his fourth of 15 there (6f, good to firm) last month; was well backed into 11-4 for that race and he's open to more progress on this drop in trip; in the mix.

16-1, showed a bit of promise when seventh of 12 on 6f Kempton debut 15 days ago but not enough to suggest he's likely to strike at the second time of asking.

A fair sprint maiden at 2yrs but he's failed to fire this term, gelded before coming in last of ten in 6f Kempton handicap 13 days ago; steps up markedly in trip here.

T: S Woods

Seven-race maiden; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield in December (5f; blinkered first time) but two disappointing runs have followed; has been gelded since latest run and is down in class with a good apprentice booked so a revival not impossible, for all he carries risk.

Six-race maiden; made a bold bid over 5f here last month but the blinkers didn't have the same effect at Chelmsford four weeks ago and they are now discarded; has the best form but vulnerable to anything progressive.

J: Finley Marsh

T: Richard Hughes

Bumped into one over C&D on his stable debut last month and made no mistake at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (cheekpieces first time), keeping on strongly; this is a lower grade and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a big run.

Heavily supported on his stable debut at Lingfield (5f) four weeks ago, a race where he bumped into an improving sprinter; capable of better and he is a key player with cheekpieces now given a go.

Went close on his handicap debut at Kempton in December (6f); subsequent third at Southwell came in a Class 4 and this should be more manageable; new stable (same owner) quick to drop him in trip.

Both 2yo outings over 6f, finishing third at Carlisle then narrowly justifying favouritism at Southwell; one of her siblings scored over 7f; very similar type to Vencedora and may progress further.
