Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; has a tendency to race too freely and needs to rebound from a disappointing effort last time but his second of 17 at Leicester (7f, good) two starts ago was a good effort; enters calculations.

7f turf winner in the spring who went close in first-time cheekpieces (left off tonight) over a stiff 6f in July; held off his revised mark since and will need a career-best effort back on Tapeta for a yard also responsible for Believeinmenow.

J: Alex Jary

T: Nigel Tinkler

Made the breakthrough when making all in a Redcar handicap (7f, good) in May; mixed form in four subsequent runs, but he went close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and had an excuse at Thirsk (stumbled at the start) last time; still unexposed at this trip and he's a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form.

Form & Verdict
0-5 as a 2yo for Nigel Tinkler but rallied well for fourth on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in October and was denied clear run when third over that C&D a few weeks later; upped in trip for stable debut; could have a say if fully tuned up.

15-race maiden but was placed four times from 7f-1m3f on turf this summer; left Geoff Harker after finishing down the field over the extended 1m4f here three weeks ago; new trainer (same owners) is quick to drop him back markedly in trip; has more good recent efforts to his name than most of these.

13-race maiden but he was in the frame in both starts here (6f nurseries) when trained by Nigel Tinkler last year; his third behind Farabove The Limit at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last month was the last of a sequence of solid efforts but he threw in a clunker when beating one home at Redcar last time; blinkers go on.

Beaten favourite in the 7.5f nursery on this card last year, but better than a record of 1-23 might imply and she remains 4lb below her winning mark; likely goaded into overracing last time over a 1m2f trip she's still quite new to, and return to about 1m for now may do no harm.

Stamina for 1m2f wasn't assured at Redcar, a course that suits her, eight days ago but she was fine and meets Baldosa (third) and Diamond Aura (fourth) on the same terms; below-par favourite here in the spring, which would be a slight worry.

Recorded a quick-fire double on good ground in June (7f/1m) and she was a close-up third off this mark at Carlisle (7f) last month; probably didn't stay 1m1f last time but she'll still need a bit extra and soft ground raises a query.
