Form & Verdict
Ran out the ready winner of a 6f novice on his racecourse debut last summer; disappointed at Thirsk one month later but he was back on the up with a good second at Kempton on his return three weeks ago (conceding 5lb to a promising winner); remains capable of better and he is well drawn to attack; respected.

J: Jason Hart

T: James Owen

Unexposed gelding who won two of his four starts for Jack Jones, including on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in April; up 5lb but he's bred to stay this extra furlong and is open to more progress on his first run for James Owen; respected.

Form & Verdict
2-2 on AW, the wins coming on his racecourse debut (5f) and then after a three-month break in November (7f; tongue tied first time); given that ability fresh a 171-day absence is of little concern but a 5lb rise for beating a small field when last seen isn't obviously generous; stable also represented by Eternal Solace.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner as a 2yo; two promising efforts this year, shaping nicely at Kempton before chasing home her hugely progressive stablemate Al Najashi at Newcastle on Good Friday; hit with a 3lb rise but she is still a key player now back down in class; stable also run Bone Marra.

Form & Verdict
Closely matched with Alasrae on C&D form from Good Friday and his effort there can be marked up given he was poorly drawn; can be given a pass for Bath last time (hampered) and he has yet to run a poor race over C&D; more exposed than some but still commands respect.
