Form & Verdict
Progressive last year and as good as ever when third on his Ascot comeback in the spring; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed today) last time, an effort that looks best ignored, and he's one of the likelier winners back from a short break.

Made good progress last season and he has improved again this year, finishing third of 17 over C&D on his reappearance and winning at Ffos Las (5f, good) and C&D (good to firm) on his last two starts; up another 5lb but foolish to think he has reached his ceiling.

Two C&D runs have seen him make the frame in big-field events; easily saw off four rivals in a handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 26 days ago; the combination of a 7lb rise and considerably more demanding opposition could scupper a follow up.

Form & Verdict
Wins have come over 6f on Tapeta, latterly off 6lb lower; now has her first 5f run since beaten at odds-on on her 2yo debut but she showed good toe to make most round Chester last time before picked off by two who'd sat in the rear and this mark looks within range.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt as a 2yo, winning a 6f fillies' novice decisively; stronger form when coming from off the pace to win a Class 4 handicap at Southwell last month but she was beaten fair and square at Yarmouth two weeks later (7f, good to firm); return to 6f can help but Champonie may prove the yard's main hope.

Form & Verdict
Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive.

J: Zac Lloyd

T: Thomas Faulkner

Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye.

Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard.

Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back.

Didn't run badly at Windsor in May but that run is sandwiched by two lesser turf runs; connections now turn to a tongue tie and cheekpieces.
