Form & Verdict

Showed promise here on first two starts, then justified favouritism at Salisbury (6f, good to soft); stiff task and well held in the Gimcrack four weeks ago; may have more to offer back down in class and upped in distance; not dismissed.

Back to the same mark as when successful at Chester in July (7f, good to soft); not seen to best effect in a 6f claimer here two weeks ago; this should be more suitable and he looks the stable's main hope.

Form & Verdict

Similar profile to Nuance, as his novice/maiden form has worked out well; justified favouritism with a 3l success over C&D (good) on nursery debut, proving very well handicapped; gives the firm impression he'll cope with 10lb rise; big player.

Copes with good to soft at a push but suited by good or quicker and the AW, the one defeat in 7f and 1m handicaps under those conditions coming after a layoff; only just made it at York in May but a strongly run 7f might well be in his repertoire; not done with from a handicapping viewpoint.

Finished last in heavy-ground Lincoln six weeks ago; steadily progressive otherwise, including two wins over a sharp 1m (good/AW) last season, and could well bounce back; still of interest.

Form & Verdict

Has gone steadily in the right direction, most recently winning a novice event at Kempton (7f, AW); first two efforts have major substance; open to further progress for top yard and enters calculations on handicap debut.

Frankel colt whose novice form has plenty of substance, most recently scoring at Chester (7f, good to soft) where he beat a useful filly who has been placed in two Group races since; looks very well treated off this opening mark; strongly respected.

Thrice-raced colt whose novice form lacks solidity, with 3l success at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) flanked by modest efforts; not sure what to expect but a potential danger if bouncing back and confirming the promise of his win.

He's 2lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) last December and didn't run badly when third of seven in selling handicap at Redcar (1m) last time; however, he needs something extra here and is untested beyond 1m.

Record is 1-7, the win gained over 5f; failed to beat a rival in two Group attempts (6f/7f); ran respectably in Pontefract nursery (6f) two weeks ago but has something to prove back up in trip/grade; more exposed than these rivals.

Three wins at 5f and 7f; will be happier back at this trip after abortive attempts at 1m for new yard and although he was beaten before the trip became an issue at Bath last time the soft ground wouldn't have helped; turnaround on the cards.
