Form & Verdict

Looked set for a good season when beaten a neck here (7f, good to soft) in May but his two subsequent efforts have been underwhelming; didn't travel over 1m last time and now steps up even further in distance; risky.

Kept a low profile on his first few starts but has improved since stepped up to 1m2f, making all at Newbury (good to firm; 9-4) two weeks ago; had something in hand and a 4lb rise does not look insurmountable.

Form & Verdict

Six-race maiden; went close at Leicester (1m, good to soft) on reappearance but she was disappointing when favourite at Hamilton next time; has to bounce back and her stamina for an extended 1m2f isn't guaranteed.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark at the seventh attempt in six-runner fillies' race at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm), comfortably making all; this is more competitive but she's well bred and may not have reached her ceiling just yet.

Form & Verdict

Unlucky not to go close on reappearance/handicap debut and gained a deserved success in seven-runner race at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; raced freely) six weeks ago; there may be better still to come and he's on the shortlist again.

Form & Verdict

Winner on seasonal reappearance at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) and has run well in defeat all five starts since, one-paced third of eight at Carlisle (1m1f, good to firm) on latest; plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this longer trip should be well within his range; has to be respected.
