Form & Verdict
Struggled to cope with heavy ground on handicap debut in October and looked very one-paced before eventually keeping on for never-dangerous seventh at Southwell (1m4f) this month; remains lightly raced but needs to improve.

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time.

J: Miss Pippa Brown

T: Liam Bailey

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when forging clear at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last month but he's been well held on Polytrack and Tapeta since; has bit to prove again and he needs more progress in first-time blinkers; stablemate of Yakhabar.

The step up in distance did the trick when he scored at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; always in rear when last of eight at Chelmsford (13.5f, AW) since; holds claims if leaving latest effort behind.

Form & Verdict
Six-race maiden; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when respectable fifth at Southwell (1m4f) ten days ago, where she finished behind Duchess but was denied a clear run; now needs to build on that effort.

Maiden who's found her level since cheekpieces went on, going close in similar races a couple of times earlier in the year; this the first time she's gone beyond 1m6f and she has claims if her stamina holds.

Inconsistent ten-race maiden but she was runner-up over C&D last month and wasn't beaten far back on turf at Beverley (1m4f) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she's in the mix back up in trip.

0-9 but she wasn't far away at Newcastle (1m4f) in February and went pretty close at Southwell (1m6f) the following month; disappointed in Lingfield classified (also AW) three weeks ago but she's not entirely ruled out in this first turf handicap.

Remains a maiden after 21 starts and he's had several opportunities off a similar mark to today's, but he's been running pretty well of late and was third of seven at Beverley last Monday; might have an each-way shout.
