Form & Verdict
Made it 0-9 when 4l seventh of 14 to Auspicious at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago; however, he's better than that, as evidenced by some positive runs earlier this year, and he has an each-way squeak if bouncing back.

Breakthrough Carlisle handicap success in May has been flanked by three rather less auspicious efforts, similarly over 6f on good; only one attempt at 5f so far (Tapeta novice stakes at huge odds) but dam and (to Listed level) granddam both scored at this trip.

Modest 3yo who has a peak RPR of 48; managed to open his account in Carlisle event (6f) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form last time; seems to have limitations.

Below par in the C&D event won by Auspicious but reversed the placings at Carlisle (6f, good) later in May, beating him by neck and getting off the mark at the tenth attempt; may build on that win.

Mixed form since she won on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) last September but she returned to winning ways at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago; just 3lb higher today and holds strong claims for in-form yard.

Ran poorly at Redcar on latest start but went into that in good form, including for a narrow Redcar win; all ten races have been 6f but he looks worth a go at 7f; one to consider even though he may need to bounce back with some improved form.

Has found her level in 5f handicaps of late, getting off the mark in quite taking style at Ripon (good; chief victim has won since) before having a troubled run at Musselburgh recently; also has form on a stiff track and should be able to plunder something else off her current mark.

0-8 but she was placed on her turf debut here last month and backed that up with a close third in another 6f handicap, at Carlisle (good); looks interesting off unchanged mark and she should get a good pace on this drop back in trip.

Maiden who has finished close up in two of three 6f handicaps for new yard, notably when finding Carlisle's stiff test at the trip a bit much for her in May; lesser efforts at 5f and 6f since, though, the fitting of cheekpieces at Catterick last time not an obvious pointer for this.

0-11 but has shown she can win a race, doing best when headed late and a close fourth at Carlisle (6f, good) last month; outpaced in first 5f run, on this track 11 days ago, but returns to 6f in first-time cheekpieces; needs to be considered if the headgear has a positive effect.

Made all for an easy win at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago; had to work harder to follow up at Musselburgh (1m, good) three days later; drop back to 7f can help but she is another 6lb higher in her hat-trick bid and this is a rise in class.
