PricedUp The Flat Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Form & Verdict
Has not added to his debut win in 18 races since but he went mighty close on AW in the spring and returned to form with third at Sandown (1m2f, soft) in August; stepping up to 1m3f with cheekpieces added did not see him in such a positive light on his only run since but he should be more interesting today, not least because he faces only four opponents.

Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more.

1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden at Haydock (good) in May and a good, plugging-on third here (good to soft; alongside Sea Poetry) three weeks ago; lesser displays over 1m2f (good) and 1m1f (soft) in between seem to dent his prospects, though.

Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however.

Form & Verdict
Won last November (7f, good to soft) on her only start as 2yo; minor honours in four races this season (the exception was Royal Ascot) and she made late gains to take a good fourth of ten here (1m, good to soft) on latest, closing to within a short head of Love Beach for third; that was her best form and suggested that this new trip is well worth a go, which is backed up by her pedigree; considered.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over Sandown's 1m2f (good/soft) this summer; tailed off in hat-trick bid there and although his fifth of 14 over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago was creditable, he probably needs to resume progress.

Quickened up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in August and just missed out at Epsom after a 4lb rise (1m2f, good to soft); nudged up another 2lb but seems better than ever right now, despite his high mileage.

Form & Verdict
0-4 for Dermot Weld and 0-4 for current yard; best this term when staying on well for close third at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in July, despite hanging; it's possible to make excuses for his two starts since (AW debut on latest) and a return to form would give him a big shout; taken out of a soft-ground race at Leicester yesterday.

1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist.
