Form & Verdict
0-6 but he went close in a Thirsk handicap (1m4f, good) in May and backed that up with a creditable third in similar conditions at Goodwood last month; on the same mark as last time and he should be in the mix again; cheekpieces added.

J: Luke Morris

In-form 3yo who made all for clearcut success at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month and is now 2-3 since cheekpieces were added; still unexposed over this trip and commands respect.

J: David Probert

T: Harry Charlton

Well held in two 1m AW novices late last year, but is a much better performer now contesting handicaps on turf, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago (runner-up was bidding for a five-timer); much respected from 3lb higher if as effective back on Tapeta.

J: Lewis Edmunds

Ran well when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk (good) in May and has run to a similar level in both starts since, including when second of five at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
0-7 but he ran well upped to 1m4f when a staying-on second in an Epsom handicap (good to firm) last week; hit a personal best behind an unexposed rival in that race and he's respected off the same mark.

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.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival in three of his four runs including when last of six on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f; cheekpieces added.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Ed Dunlop

His form when fourth and third in 1m4f turf handicaps this summer give him solid claims; last time's effort, when beaten 18l at Beverley, needs to be overlooked but he's not fully exposed; cheekpieces come off for this AW debut.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Ed Dunlop

Recent step up to 1m4f and fitting of cheekpieces has returned him to the level of his peak 2yo effort, and still had running left at the end of a slightly better Thirsk Class 5 than this last time; chance.

Form & Verdict
200,000gns breeze-up 2yo; well held in her first four starts but she found lots of improvement upped to 1m4f when an easy winner of a Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) last month; this is a different test on quicker ground but a 6lb rise looks fair and she's a half-sister to a Listed winner on good to firm; major player.

Came clear to win at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June but she was last of five on good to firm at Doncaster next time (raced freely); solid third of six at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) last month and returning to some slower ground may help.
