Form & Verdict
Went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on reappearance; failed to improve on that when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in another novice event three weeks later, but he still looks capable of better and his dam was a 2m4f winner, so this extra 3f for handicap debut will surely help.

J: Mark Winn

T: David O’Meara

Progressive 3yo who landed three-runner event on his handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f) in May and went very close to defying a 4lb rise in another small field at Doncaster one week ago; up another 4lb but there's plenty of stamina in the family and this trip can unlock more.

T: David O’Meara

Handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good) three weeks ago came in just a three-runner race but he came through late in the day to deny a respected rival who won starts either side; he'd also shown plenty of promise before that and 4lb rise could seriously underestimate his potential.

Form & Verdict
Improved form sent handicapping over 1m4f for both starts this term, taking second at Wolverhampton (AW) and getting off the mark at Leicester (good); both were in small fields but the former race has had its form boosted substantially and the latter ended up as a clearcut win after he went on over 2f out; latest 3lb rise probably underestimates him.

Low-mileage 3yo who has won two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) on turf this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle 17 days ago; still unexposed at this trip but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat.

J: Connor Beasley

T: Charlie Johnston

He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet.

J: Sean D Bowen

Two wins and two seconds this season in his four small-field handicaps; 4-9 when upped to 1m6f at Redcar on latest, well on top; raised 3lb but this should also be a far more competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Two minor honours over about 1m last October, before battling her way to a novice win at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; the latter form has taken some knocks and improvement is needed on this handicap debut, but her pedigree (dam won the Oaks) reinforces the already strong impression that 1m3f+ will suit.

Promising debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last October; beaten even-money favourite at Newcastle later that month but still ran a creditable race; out of an Oaks winner so stepping up in trip looks a good move; improvement is essential all the same.

Found just runners from the yards of Ralph Beckett and Charlie Appleby, who had the benefit of a run or two, too strong on debut at Nottingham this month (8.3f; SP 17-2) and it looks as if she'll have learnt plenty from that; the one to beat.
