J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Lemos De Souza

C&D nursery winner last December off 7lb lower who's likely to be dropped in as usual from stall 7; enjoyed a consistent summer in slightly better company on turf and is one to consider in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces a few times last autumn).

Off the mark by a short head at Leicester (5f novice, good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; creditable third in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) on return 18 days ago and won't mind the drop back in trip.

Sole win in 14 starts came in a Leicester novice (5f, good to soft) last October but he ran well when dropped back to 5f in a re-fitted visor (retained) at Wolverhampton last week, finishing second of nine; unexposed on the AW and has claims.

Form & Verdict
Showed improved form when dropped back to 5f in his second handicap to beat his 16 rivals at Nottingham (5f, good) 25 days ago, travelling strongly and winning comfortably; up 7lb but this well-related colt looks open to further progress.

Not seen to best effect in either start for his new yard and he met plenty of traffic when trying to launch a challenge at Leicester (5f, good to soft) nine days ago; got taken off his feet in the early part of that race though and it could be that stepping back up to 6f will see him in a better light; still has some potential.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Grant Tuer

Saw off 16 rivals when winning a 5f handicap at Nottingham (good) in decisive fashion in April; soft ground was a valid excuse for a lesser effort at Yarmouth one month later (gelded after); sold for 10,000gns since; still has low mileage and he's of obvious interest against exposed rivals.

Form & Verdict
Often front-runner and won four times on the AW over 6f this winter; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield on Good Friday before weakening into sixth, but he was well beaten at Bath (5.5f, good) 26 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.

Set a good early gallop and went again when challenged at Brighton last time; there's other pace in here though and, while she's fine on Tapeta, this is more competitive off a 5lb higher mark for a yard also responsible for Adalida.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival home at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in October but was progressive on turf prior to that; left the impression his first start for 200 days was needed when fourth at Bath (5f, good) last time and he is of interest with that effort behind him.

Gained both wins in 5.2f Brighton nurseries last summer; close second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month, his second start this season, but didn't fire at Windsor a fortnight later; needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces and prove himself on an AW surface.
