T: William Haggas

His run of solid placed efforts (including over C&D in April) hit the buffers when he finished well adrift in first-time cheekpieces (subsequently removed) on his penultimate start; had a pace excuse when held up in a slowly run race at Kempton last time, however, and there's nothing wrong with this mark.

T: William Haggas

Won a Haydock maiden and a Carlisle novice last summer; has gone close in three of his five starts this season but he was tailed off at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last time; needs to bounce back after that major blip and he's untried on AW; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning stable debut in a Southwell novice (6f, AW) in January and took another step forward when sixth of eight in a Listed event at Lingfield (7f, AW) next time; now makes her handicap debut having been off since failing to beat a rival in a Goodwood Listed event in May and still needs to prove herself on turf.

6f novice winner whose near miss in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth in July came in a four-runner race; comfortably beaten in her subsequent starts and wouldn't appear to be that well handicapped.

Made a winning yard debut in a Southwell novice (6f, AW) in January; ran well when a close third of four at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort in a higher grade at York (good to soft) last month; returning to the AW may help.

J: George Wood

T: Harry Eustace

Unraced on ground slower than good; made a winning yard debut in a Southwell novice (6f, AW) in January and built on that when sixth of eight in a Listed event at Lingfield (7f, AW); had failed to beat a rival in two starts on turf prior to finishing a close third of four on handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago, but this is a more competitive contest.
