T: Gemma Tutty

Won and finished a close third in his first two starts for the yard over 7f here in March and added another success at York (1m, good to firm) in July; well held over C&D last time, but is just 1lb higher than for his last two wins so he can't be dismissed.

Course winner over 7f in March on his stable debut and also won at York (1m, good to firm) in June, those wins coming off a mark 3lb lower than today's; never threatened on his last two starts, including over 1m2f at Doncaster 11 days ago, but has each-way claims back on the AW.

Form & Verdict
Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle in December and then bumped into a handicap blot over C&D five days later; no match for another rival who was ahead of his mark (stablemate of Artanis) at Wolverhampton last time; could still have more to offer with cheekpieces now enlisted.

J: Harry Vigors

Did well in his first four handicaps on the AW during the winter (1222), but last two efforts have been modest including on his return to turf last time; needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to make a difference.

Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack.

J: Hollie Doyle

Nursery win in December (first run since gelded) came off a 12lb lower mark and he's been expensive to follow since; nudged up a further 3lb since his C&D second (first-time cheekpieces; retained) last time to Illy's Roo and needs to find a bit more.

Form & Verdict
His only win as a 2yo came in his one AW start, namely a 7f maiden at Newcastle last June; unplaced twice after that success but in a hot York nursery and then in Listed company at Redcar; gelded during his absence; needs more back on AW but it is not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Game effort to win a C&D handicap off 3lb lower on New Year's Day; he was messed about shortly after leaving the stalls at Newcastle two weeks later (6f) and that run can be excused; he will still require a personal best to give weight away all round in this field.

Blew out on her handicap debut for George Boughey in the spring before sold for 45,000gns in July; started a big price for her new yard (turf) six weeks ago, when offering little immediate promise, and is having a first run in a sprint.

Shaped encouragingly in two runs last season; returned to make all on the AW in February (7f) before disappointing when made favourite for the following month's handicap debut; has since left George Boughey for 45,000gns; worth checking in the betting, especially with Ollie Sangster doubly represented.
