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.

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.

Off the mark at the 12th attempt, her first 5f start, at Lingfield last month (good ground); while she could have more to offer at this trip, a 7lb rise does ask a much stiffer question of her.

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.

Hasn't made an impact this year in his first three handicaps but he made late headway when 4l sixth of eight at Lingfield (5f, good) two starts ago, suggesting a return to 6f would be a good fit, and soft ground may have been against him at Salisbury (6f) subsequently; remains of interest.

0-5 and unable to make an impact this year in his first two handicaps; however, he made late headway when 4l sixth of eight at Lingfield last time (5f, good; unraced on softer) and might have a part to play back up to 6f.
