His first nursery brought a more competitive show when third of ten off this mark at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, disputing the lead for a long way; needs better but he's now in calculations.

Modest form on second and third starts; that was in May and her three nurseries this summer have not gone well, admittedly hampered over 3f out at Beverley last time but it's hard to put her high on the list.

Hinted at ability in maidens but not seen to best effect in nurseries on soft and over 6f last time; this trip on quick ground may help but enough has to be taken on trust. |

One of the most exposed after six starts (no win) but he went down by a nose off this mark at Catterick (6f, good to firm) nine days ago, making most, and this first attempt at 5f has to be worth a go.

Others were stronger finishers on his handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) last month but that was a step back in the right direction; he's been dropped 2lb and this easier track might suit better; not ruled out. |

Some form on first two starts, but poor form on soft next time and always behind under a 7lb claimer from wide draw in nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm; 12-1) 13 days ago; dropped 4lb.

0-8 with two seconds on soft ground, latterly in a six-runner nursery at Catterick (5f) three starts back; 4lb lower today but her lesser form on good ground and good to firm is a concern.

More exposed than her rivals but she's proven her merit in nurseries, finishing second off this mark at Catterick three weeks ago (5f, soft); surprising if there weren't a few in here capable of improving past her. |

Some ability all three starts, over about 5f; in touch long way at 50-1 last time at Thirsk (good) and needs a second look going handicapping.

Backed into 12-1 when promising third on debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good) four weeks ago; showed pace and today's slightly shorter trip could be ideal for the time being; she's one to consider. |

Fourth of nine in novice at Lingfield (6f, soft) was a much improved effort, but he was last of ten in nursery at Kempton (6f, AW; 14-1) three weeks ago; has his first go both at 5f and in cheekpieces.

Thrice-raced colt who showed improvement at Lingfield (6f, turf; finished fourth) most recently; another step forward is possible at this level with Oisin Murphy booked; one to consider. |
