Looks exposed already, beaten in four nurseries (5f-7f); the addition of a visor isn't enough to tip things in his favour.

J: Christian Howarth

T: Scott Dixon

Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.

Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender.

Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer who has shown more than enough in her nursery runs to think she can find a similar race; neither trip nor ground should be an issue and the new cheekpieces could be the catalyst for more.

Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field over this C&D (good); clearly progressive and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop her.

Form & Verdict
Promise over 5f here on second start and was a creditable third at Redcar since on her second nursery run (5f, good; hooded first time); may do better over 6f but was well held in her one run on ground slower than good.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt with a comfortable success here over 5f in June (good to soft) off a mark 8lb lower than today's; struggled at Doncaster (5.5f, good to firm) last month and she isn't proven over 6f, but should be happier back down in grade.

Just modest form in three runs in novice/maiden company, running his best race on soft ground at Beverley on his second start; pedigree suggests he will do better at some point.
