Form & Verdict
Maiden who's been expensive to follow, including in a couple of handicaps since returned to turf; has often been inclined to pull hard and is dropping to 5f for the first time, which ought to help.

Has a patchy profile but she won at Lingfield (5f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; well-held second over this trip at Lingfield last time, but she got hampered at the start and that was behind a big improver; shortlisted.

J: Ethan Tindall

Keen-going sort who proved suited by dropping to 5f when gaining a first win at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; struggled after a slow start at York on his next outing but he bounced back with a close second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; nudged up 2lb but pulled clear of the third last time and that was behind a major improver who has won won again since; key player.

Form & Verdict
Cheekpieces have helped and he just looked to find Ascot's 6f stretching him in better company last time; whether today's easy 5f is too far the other way is the question.

His form had dipped but in first-time blinkers he emerged from off a strong pace to collect by a length at Salisbury (6f, good to firm); Charlie Tucker rides again off a 3lb rise; chance if the headgear continues to help.

Runner-up twice this spring (5.7f/5f) but form has dipped on last two outings; needs to be perked up by switch from usual cheekpieces to first-time blinkers, and to prove himself on fast ground (only win came on heavy).

Improver since cheekpieces went on and possible he found firm ground against him upped in class last time; also possible he's reached his ceiling mark now and he'll need more from the lowest stall.

Kept to 5f since late November, winning on Chelmsford AW and at Bath (good), but he kept on well when going down narrowly over 5f on this track (winner has gone in again since) in June and now looks worth another go at 6f; good claims.

Off the mark with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; added a turf success at Bath in April (5f, good) and he is only 2lb higher today; two defeats since have come in stronger company and Billy Loughnane has been on board for both wins (from three rides on him); good chance.

Found a weak AW novice when winning here last autumn and has finished well held in two handicaps since; had excuses each time, pulling hard over 6f on her comeback, but she has to prove this mark within range on her second turf start.

A few costly defeats to date, twice hanging left on Tapeta last year; the money came again on his handicap debut a fortnight ago, having undergone wind surgery, and he's evidently felt capable of better; drops from 6f under 7lb claimer Oliver Hoodless (1-7).

0-8 before return to form for a narrow front-running win at Lingfield (7f, AW) six days ago; that was an apprentice race, when ridden by Oliver Hoodless, so he can race off same mark today, but there is more to prove on turf form.
