Form & Verdict

3yo who has finished runner-up on Tapeta in three of his four starts, including a close call in a Newcastle novice (5f) 15 days ago; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and he could be a big factor back up in trip.

Well handicapped on his best 6f form for James Fanshawe and he didn't get much luck from a tough draw over C&D on his recent stable debut; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks.

Improved her record to 2-9 with a clearcut win over C&D last month and she finished well for third off her revised mark at Brighton (6f) 12 days ago; was short of room in the closing stages of that race and she still has scope for further progress; respected back on Tapeta.

Form & Verdict

AW specialist who has recorded three Polytrack wins since joining Darryll Holland in April but he faded into a 3l third in his hat-trick bid at Kempton two weeks ago; return to Tapeta is no problem but he's never won off a mark this high and the handicapper could be in control again.

Below par when only 15-8 for stable/classified debut at Wolverhampton 40 days ago but possibly didn't take to hood (now goes in reapplied cheekpieces); stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust but she was strong in the betting last time and it will be interesting to see if her backers return.

Hold-up performer who got back in the groove with a C&D win in July; has not a posed a serious threat here in two subsequent runs but he now goes back up in trip and down in grade and is only 2lb higher than for that last success; dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck.
