T: Mark Rimell

Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race.

Clear ability when placed all three starts (6f, good/good to soft) at two; gelded and stuck on from the rear when fifth to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance/handicap debut one month ago; will need to have come on for the outing but that's not beyond the realms.

Good step forward from debut when runner-up at Ripon, albeit beaten 5l in four-runner event, in September and backed that up when second again at Yarmouth (also 6f, good) the following month; has been gelded and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this reappearance/handicap debut.

Made a low-key start over C&D last month but he left that form behind when a 5l second at Ripon (6f, good); that was behind a useful rival who went off at 1-4 and he sets the standard on that form; key player.

Has shown promise on several occasions, including over 6f here; matched her best form on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and creditable fourth in a novice at Wetherby (5.5f, good) since; enters calculations.

Consistent rather than progressive; not beaten far into fourth behind Love Alive over C&D last month; her apprentice rider takes off a useful 7lb; each-way shout.

No improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of six over 6f here last week; drop back to 5f can help but she is drawn widest and needs a surge of improvement.

Reappeared with a promising fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April but he's taken two backward steps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation on this return to sprinting.

Made the frame on all three 2yo starts (5f-6f) and again showed clear promise when fifth of 14 on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft), despite racing too freely in the early stages and hanging left at the business end; back up in trip and 2lb lower here; a possible.
