Form & Verdict
Course novice winner who returned to form when staying on for close third of 14 in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good) ten days ago; judged on that latest evidence the step back up to 1m may well be in his favour and he can give another good account, although others may have greater potential.

Two novice wins over 6f last term (good); best run this term when second in a York handicap in May (7f, good); disappointing since; fast ground is a concern.

Form & Verdict
Won on debut at Ayr (7f, good to soft) in July and kept on for fourth in the Group 3 Acomb at York (7f, good to firm) next time; failed to build on that when fifth in Group 3 at Chantilly (1m, soft) last month but the York performance suggested he would improve for 1m and he's not discounted.

Successful debut over 7f at Ayr (good to soft) last July; asked some stiff questions since and although he ran some fair races in defeat, his reappearance in a conditions race on Kempton AW wasn't one of them; gelded since; may fare better now handicapping but this is competitive.

Highly tried after making a successful racecourse debut at Ayr last summer and he came up short, albeit he ran well in the Acomb at York and when runner-up in Listed company last October; the switch to AW shouldn't present an issue but others appeal more for win purposes.

Dante entry; progressive with 3-4 record in Britain last season, ending with a Listed win from the front at Pontefract (1m, soft); however, beaten a long way in Saudi Arabia this February and although back near his 2yo form in Listed race at Newmarket (1m1f, good; disputed lead 2f out) three weeks ago, that was good enough for only fifth of seven to Morshdi; major work to do.

Beaten long way in Saudi Arabia in sole outing this year; 3-4 on home soil and made all for a clearcut success in Listed event at Pontefract (1m, soft) the final time; probably needs to resume that progress to defy a 3lb penalty in this rather deeper race for the grade.

Form & Verdict
Improved upon last month's debut sixth at Gowran (1m, heavy) to win a maiden at Thurles (1m, good to yielding) 11 days ago; others have a lot more substance to their form but she's very much unexposed and represents a highly respected Irish stable; no surprise if she's in the shake-up.

One of two runners for Joseph O'Brien; has come from well behind at the Curragh (7f/1m, good) in both her handicaps, scraping home by the skin of her teeth in the latest; this weight would be borderline for Dylan Browne McMonagle who has ridden this filly on her last two starts but now partners her stablemate.
