Form & Verdict
3yo filly who has shown improved form on her last two starts, winning at Salisbury (6f, good) in May before following up on soft ground over that same C&D 24 days ago; 8lb higher than for that latest success but she's progressive, and can't be dismissed in this higher grade.

Secured her hat-trick over 6f on soft and fast ground; only 2lb higher than for the last of those wins and it wasn't her fault when losing position quite early last time at Salisbury; needs considering.

Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.

Ran his best race of the year when third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, his first run after a gelding operation; regular slow starts aren't ideal and the switch to blinkers isn't enough to earn him the vote.

Easily won a 5f maiden at Chepstow on her second 2yo run; never in the hunt behind Cherry Baker on her seasonal/handicap debut here 24 days ago but the run wasn't without hope, drawn wide in stall 12, racing freely under restraint and not enjoying a clear passage at a crucial time; stall 9 again not ideal but she's one to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Lightly raced and unexposed; landed odds at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in March and the runner-up has boosted the form; beat all bar two of his 18 rivals in warm handicap at Ascot (6f, good) two weeks ago, doing his best work late on; should be suited by today's step up in distance; leading contender.

All starts at 6f; best of two runs last term came when chasing home two smart Godolphin juveniles on debut at Haydock (good to firm) last May; gelded before justifying a shade of odds-on at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) on return in March; should do better again and this mark looks fair ahead of his handicap debut.

Sole win from six starts came in a Southwell maiden (7f, AW) in December and he posted a solid effort there over 6f in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago, bouncing back from some lesser efforts on turf; headgear is retained but he needs to build on that latest outing.
