J: Callum Shepherd

T: Roger Fell

Off the mark on his stable debut/reappearance at Catterick in May and he met plenty of traffic when solid sixth of 20 at York in his first handicap 12 days later; good third (again 7f, good) the following month but the wheels have come off subsequently; new cheekpieces and drop back to 6f will need to spark a revival.

Ex-Irish 3yo who won Catterick novice (7f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in May and ran well in two subsequent handicaps over this trip; didn't fire when tried over 1m last month but may still have some potential.

Form & Verdict
0-5 and has had more chances than any of these but she's been steadily progressive and ran well when third in a maiden at Southwell (6f, AW) last month; good second over 7f on turf at York last July; leading form claims.

Sent off 33-1 for last month's Leicester debut (7f, good to soft), but was only beaten 2l into third of ten having attempted to make all; a couple of winners have come out of that race and shortlisted if as effective on this different surface.

Beaten around 6l when fifth then fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) last autumn on her first two starts; improvement is necessary but she's from a family connections have done very well with, and her in-form southern trainer is 5-9 at Catterick; wears a first-time hood; interesting.

Well-related filly who ran below market expectations on her first two handicap starts; better effort on Tapeta last time, when always well positioned, gave some hope and she's one to consider in a weak affair.

Little of note in novice and maiden events and seemingly little expected on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm; 25-1) this month when he was never involved; much more needed for new cheekpieces.
