6 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 43 starts but he's on a much reduced mark and was runner-up over C&D 16 days ago; that was a bold bid under a prominent ride and he should be in the mix again.

3 yo Filly

OR: 58

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-14 but her win came over C&D in May and she's finished placed in her last four starts; nudged up 2lb after her second over C&D last time but that was an eyecatching effort and she still looks on a workable mark; big player with headgear removed.

Hold-up filly whose win for Ed Dunlop, from whom she was picked up in April for 7,500gns, came on Tapeta; become hard to predict and there's no sign of the usual headgear back from a short break.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Ed Dunlop

Hold-up filly who went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on her penultimate run but she didn't fire there last time; still lightly raced on turf but she's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run; switch of headgear.

Form & Verdict
Close second over C&D in May but she's returned after a break with two low-key efforts this autumn; had some traffic issues here (9.4f) last time but she's not easy to predict and others are more convincing.

Dual turf winner but he's 0-17 on AW and was well held on Polytrack (1m) in his final three runs for Brett Johnson; dropped another 2lb but he needs to raise his game for new yard.
