Form & Verdict
Posted an improved effort when runner-up at Ripon (1m, good) last month and went one better at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; made all) two weeks ago, form that has since been franked by the second; cheekpieces now go on and he should give it a good go from the front.

J: Miss Rebecca Burley

Has form figures of 2112 in last four turf attempts and gained one of the wins over C&D (good to firm); ran well at Ayr (good to soft) most recently; steadily progressive and commands respect.

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Came good with wins at Beverley (8.4f) and Thirsk (1m, again on good to firm) last month and had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Southwell (suffered interference) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher than for his last success and he could kick on again back on turf.

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

Has improved this year, recording back-to-back wins at Beverley and Thirsk (around 1m; making all) this month, the latter in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should give it a good go on AW debut if taking to the surface.

Form & Verdict
Won two nurseries at Beverley over 7.5f last August (both on good to firm) but she struggled in a competitive sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September when last seen; returns off a mark 8lb higher than for that latest success but she can't be dismissed back in a handicap.

Two from two since switched to nurseries, both wins in Class 6 at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm); faces a markedly stiffer assignment back down in distance and upped sharply in grade.

J: Owen Lewis

T: Ismail Mohammed

Steadily progressive, too strong for Supreme Dancer and Harswell River when winning over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; does not look overburdened by a 5lb rise and should go well again.
