Form & Verdict
Gelded after sole 2yo start; belied his 100-1 odds with second of 14, behind clearcut winner, at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on reappearance; one of the main contenders, provided that form is backed up.

Runner-up on his first two starts this season (6f, good to firm) and a good case can be made on that form; however, he's gone off the boil on his three outings since and needs to turn things around.

Recorded RPRs in the 70s when runner-up on first two starts this season (both 6f, good to firm) and will be hard to beat if somewhere near that level today but was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) on last month's handicap debut and managed only fourth of six when warm favourite for 5f Catterick novice three weeks ago; now has a point to prove.

Disappointing on soft ground at Haydock last week, but comes into the reckoning on his two previous runs when second in a Doncaster novice (6f, good to firm) and in an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm); speedy and should be as effective at this trip; worth considering.

Form & Verdict
Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied.

Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit.

Lightly raced filly who couldn't get going quickly enough on handicap debut over 6f at Carlisle but was struggling from a fair way out when upped to 1m at Musselburgh in June; others more likely for the win.

Found things happening too quickly before eventually keeping on for fairly respectable sixth of nine on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, good) a week ago; could plausibly be seen in a better light over this longer trip.

Triple-figure odds for all three starts (6f, good to firm/good) and hasn't achieved much; however, she now goes handicapping off a basement mark and she's from a family her trainer has done well with; could go well.
