Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick.

J: Rob Hornby

Close third to Spring Bloom over C&D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed.

J: Christian Howarth

T: Pam Sly

Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood.

J: James Doyle

T: Edward Bethell

Bar a blip on AW in the spring (wore a first-time tongue tie which was quickly discarded) his profile is steadily progressive, edging out Alpha Capture (due to run here on Friday) in 7f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb higher now back in a 3yo only race but he may have more to give.

6f maiden winner on the AW; wore a tongue-tie on handicap debut but that was soon discarded and he ran well behind one completing a hat-trick at Nottingham; tries 7f for the first time and that could trigger something.

Clearcut winner of a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) last June; finished close up in three of her four handicaps last season but she reappeared with a 12l defeat at Newmarket (100-30) three weeks ago; that was in a Class 3 after six months off but she needs to bounce back after that disappointing run.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Tom Clover

Not seen to best effect last October on final 3yo start but she'd previous gone close twice in a row, on the first occasion on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm); reappears with Oisin Murphy booked and this lightly raced filly may have more to offer this season; possible contender.

Form & Verdict
Progressed with each of his three starts in novice/maiden company (7f/1m) but he didn't see things out on his handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, soft; first start since being gelded) 13 days ago; pedigree doesn't suggest this drop to 6f is what he wants.

J: David Allan

T: Donald McCain

Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday.
