2-3 in 2yo campaign and took a step forward from his first two runs of this season when third at Sandown (7f, good) three weeks ago; could do with settling better but he might not be far away.

Ironwill

J: Marco Ghiani

Has solid 7f handicap form, including third of 14 at last month's Doncaster St Leger meeting, but it's possible this slightly belated drop back to 6f could see this regular hard puller in an even better light; not dismissed.

Free-going sort who made improvement over 7f this summer; his form wasn't so hot on good to soft ground on his last two outings but he still showed plenty despite not having a clear way through; needs a second look.

Midfield in competitive 1m contest at the York Ebor festival last week; steadily progressive at up to 7f otherwise and ties in with Ghost Mode on C&D form earlier in August (ran well despite being indirectly impeded by that rival coming off a true line); shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of promise on his first three starts, winning a maiden at York (7f, good) last September on his second outing, and things didn't go his way when fifth of nine on handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; unexposed and could build on that latest performance today.

J: Ethan Tindall

Won 2yo maiden here (7f, good) last September and kept on for promising fifth on handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft; unraced on softer) in June before doing likewise when short-headed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; may have been unsuited by the track at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last month and the return to 1m could unlock some improvement.

Low-mileage colt who registered his 2yo success in a York maiden and posted two sound efforts since handicapping, beaten narrowly by Ironwill at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) latest; may do better still; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
She's failed to fulfil the promise of last September's debut win at Haydock (6f, good) and was well beaten at 4-1 on reappearance on the Rowley Mile (6f, good to firm) two months ago; however, she stumbled leaving the stalls and pulled hard, and perhaps she'll settle better today in a first-time hood; not written off, and interesting to see if her backers return.

Looked good when winning at Haydock (6f, good) on her 2yo debut but beaten in six subsequent starts; unexposed over 7f and this is weaker than the Class 3 C&D event in which she finished fourth of six (sent off favourite) four weeks ago; not discounted.

Has a record of 0-5 since debut success (6f) but she ran encouragingly upped in trip and fitted with a hood at Newmarket (good to firm) most recently; may build on that effort kept to 7f in the retained headgear; now 5lb lower than her opening mark; respected.

Looked an unlucky loser at Pontefract (6f, good) on handicap/seasonal debut then may not have been suited by the track at Chester (6f, good; sixth); this first crack at 7f is worth a go but he has to bounce back from a heavy defeat at York (6f, good) three weeks ago.

Very lightly colt who was denied a clear run and looked an unlucky loser behind Cape Ashizuri on his handicap and seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; failed to build on that when favourite at Chester (6f, good) but the track may not have suited; he remains one to be interested in.

Considerable promise in AW novice races on first two starts (7f/1m) then down the field in 1m2f Classic Trial at Sandown; showed good pace before fading into ninth of 30 in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and he could benefit from the drop back in trip; trainer has won two of the last three runnings of this race (at usual home Haydock); chance.
