Form & Verdict
Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut.

Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded.

Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Did well to land the odds when upped to 1m at Chelmsford 20 days ago given she was sat last but one turning in and the second and third favourites very much got first run on her; this could also get tactical but Kempton's longer straight will help; worth siding with on nursery debut.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

£65,000 breeze-up 2yo; rallied well when a promising third on Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) in August and things didn't go to plan when a never-dangerous fourth at Chester (7f, good to soft) last month; sets the standard on her initial form and she's a key player on this step up to 1m.

£65,000 breeze-up 2yo by Ardad; 18-1 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago but always in touch and kept on stoutly for third of ten; should improve and have a major say.

Form & Verdict
Improver, from lowish base, in RPR terms in novice/maiden company; 7lb claimer probably overdid forcing tactics, especially as he was stepping up slightly in trip, when sent off just 15-8 for a five-runner nursery at Newcastle this month but he did fold tamely (Champion Island finished third); can only watch.

Eight-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear on last two outings when close third to Arc Ole Ole at Doncaster (good to soft) and second of eight at Nottingham (good); shapes as if he'll get 1m4f, despite speedy family.

0-5 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; low-key stable debut in February but he took a good step forward fitted with a hood and upped to 1m2f when third at Doncaster ten days ago; travelled strongly there and he remains open to further progress; good chance.

Half-brother to two stablemates who have a combined record of 8-9 on AW; duly gained his maiden success in this sphere; rather disappointing on final 2yo start (handicap debut; gelded since) but may still have more to offer; not written off.
