Form & Verdict
Six-race maiden; faded into sixth of nine on seasonal debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but significant positives can be drawn from that outing and he might come on for the run; tries a new trip.

Tai Hang Pegasus

J: Kaiya Fraser

Can lead; he's improved for stepping up to 1m4f in small-field handicaps but he went up 6lb for a Brighton win last month and couldn't sustain the progress at Windsor since; more needed this time.

Steadily progressing in handicaps and he comfortably gained a first success in five-runner event at Brighton (1m2f) 18 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 6lb weights hike.

Form & Verdict
Stumbled soon after the start and did not get competitive when upped to 11.4f for handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) in May but was made favourite for that race and probably still has potential.

Made all at Newmarket (1m4f) in July; not discredited when third of five in another 1m4f handicap there following month; she can't be ruled out now stepping up in trip.

First success when making all to beat the reopposing Sibling Rivelry by 0.5l over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher and doesn't face much obvious competition for the lead.

Five-race maiden but she was beaten less than 2l when third of five in an Epsom handicap (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; was allowed to set a slow pace but she still has potential and could make a serious impact if she can build on that last run.

Form & Verdict
A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

12-race maiden but again runner-up at Epsom (1m4f) last time and that can be upgraded; unraced here but the track shouldn't be a problem.

Runner-up three times in 11 races, including behind Tenison at Yarmouth three runs back; would have each-way claims if shrugging off below-par run last time.

T: Jim Boyle

Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

Form & Verdict
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come.

Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied.
