Form & Verdict
Third of 11 in a novice at Salisbury (1m, good) in October on second start; gelded before he improved again when second of ten to a good prospect at Kempton (1m, AW) in December, which gives him the best form in this line-up; major claims, although 1m2f is not absolutely certain to suit and he's tended to hang right on his last two starts.

9st 8lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Made most when winning at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in April but he didn't see out that trip so well in handicaps after and the return to 1m, with a tongue-tie added, was a better fit for him at Windsor recently; still has potential despite 6lb rise.

1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m.

Easy winner of a Bath novice (1m2f, good) in April but he's been disappointing in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he has hung right a few times and he needs to find more progress.

Form & Verdict
75,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; promise at Windsor (1m, soft) before his always-prominent, short-head win in a Yarmouth maiden (1m1f, good to soft) later in September; should stay; one of the two who dominate calculations.

2yo maiden winner (good to soft) who has run some good races in defeat in 1m4f handicaps this year, including here (good) in May and when third at Ascot (good to firm) recently in a first-time visor (retained); it's possible 1m6f will suit but others in this line-up appear to be more progressive.

J: Jerry Chau

Competitive in both his handicaps (1m4f) for George Boughey and left that yard for £170,000; likely to win races for Ian Williams, but he was pulled up after never going at Goodwood only ten days ago (1m4f, good to firm; 25-1) and headgear is soon turned to.

J: William Buick

Third of 14 on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) in May and the form of his subsequent second of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) has worked out well; sold out of George Boughey's yard for £170,000 last month and he's in with an each-way shout on this first run for Ian Williams.

Form & Verdict
Closely related to bumper winner Topkapi, half-brother to 11.4f winner City Spirit (RPR 70); dam placed at 1m-1m6f (61); 16-1, slow-starting fifth of seven in novice at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in October, which he will surely improve on but two of today's rivals have shown much more.

Won a Lingfield novice (11.6f) in June and scored in commanding style at Windsor (11.4f; second run in cheekpieces) in August; ran well again at Ascot (1m4f) on latest start but may have to find a bit more if he's to make this a successful AW debut.

Gained reward for a host of consistent efforts when bagging Lingfield novice (good) in June; subsequently been getting the hang of handicaps and he made the breakthrough in that sphere with a commanding win at Windsor (also 11.5f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) last Monday; 7lb rise could have been worse and he's not one to take lightly despite the rise in grade.

Landed 11.5f novice at Lingfield in June; ran well in first-time cheekpieces when second of nine in 1m2f handicap at Chester 22 days ago; can race off a 1lb lower mark here so bold showing is on the cards in retained headgear.

Lightly raced filly who made a good start in handicaps when runner-up over C&D (soft) in June; up 2lb but she made smooth headway before keeping on well last time and is open to more progress at this trip; interesting contender.
