Form & Verdict
Went close on handicap debut in September; odds-on but still improved on fifth start to win Lingfield novice (6f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January; didn't back that up when down the field in classy affair over that C&D one month later but return to turf should be no problem.

Promise as a 2yo and made short work of four rivals in a C&D novice on last month's return to action (blinkered first time); 4lb rise for that means he is 7lb higher than when second in a C&D nursery last September (only handicap run); improvement required but conditions clearly suit him well.

0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.

Modest maiden after six races; down the field in her first two handicaps (5f/6f); better when third of six at Yarmouth on latest start, despite it looking as if she did not stay 1m; either way, she still needs better.

Form & Verdict
Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood.

He's been up and down this season but soft ground may not have suited over C&D a fortnight ago and he's won three of his seven starts this term (6f/5f, AW/good to firm), the latest at Sandown in July; this 3yo remains lightly raced and it will be no surprise if he bounces back.

Won three of his six starts this year, notably a strong performance over 5f at Sandown on his penultimate start; only midfield at Kempton 13 days ago but it's foolish to think he had reached his ceiling.

4-6 in handicaps and looked a natural over the minimum trip at Sandown 34 days ago, leading over 3f out and in no danger after (backed into favouritism when taking on his elders for the first time); 6lb rise justified; dual C&D winner who can be seriously involved.

All starts at 5f; no impact in two Listed races after winning Ripon fillies' maiden (good) for Archie Watson last term; sights lowered for this yard but form of three handicap runs on Wolverhampton's AW suggest this extra furlong will need to give her quite the boost.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour.
