A maiden after seven starts but seemingly aided by a hood on last two appearances, more recently when close second at Redcar (1m, good to firm) this month; upped in trip for Polytrack debut; respected.

Second to Oceanic Wonder at Redcar (1m) and improved for the 1m2f when off the mark at Chelmsford; back in trip here but up just the 2lb and should be competitive. |

Again inclined to pull hard in the first-time hood when not seeing out a stiff 8.3f behind Oceanic Wonder last time; today's easier 1m and a 3lb lower mark entitles him to at least close the gap. |

Unexposed after only four starts but managed only sixth of eight over C&D on handicap debut in February and has not raced again since; cheekpieces added today.

Half-sister to two winners who started big prices and finished well held in three novice events late last year; starts handicap life at a lowly level and the market will guide. |

Never really looked dangerous on last month's handicap debut (1m, turf) but ran big race in defeat over C&D a fortnight ago and was only nudged up 1lb for that; may still have potential; must be considered.

Some late headway when sixth of nine on handicap debut at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 7-1) three weeks ago; will need to build on that switching back to AW over a new trip to make the breakthrough. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Modest form on debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm; hooded) but below that level in both subsequent starts; initial mark looks stiff on that evidence. |

Came good with clearcut win at Salisbury (1m2f, good) last month, his second run in blinkers, and probably bettered that performance when clear second there a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack; likely contender.

Got off the mark at Salisbury (1m2f, good; 5-4) two weeks ago on his 12th start; raised 5lb, he steps up in trip and should run well as long as the blinkers continue to have a positive effect. |

Ten-race maiden; seemingly boosted by first-time blinkers when staying-on third at Kempton (7f) in June, but two down-the-field runs over 1m have followed; moves back up to 1m2f with quite a bit to prove.

15th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Inconsistent maiden who was well beaten at Yarmouth last time, but prior to that she kept on for a good third at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) and she is unexposed on the AW; could bounce back with a big run. |
16/1 |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Wildly inconsistent maiden but ran well on her C&D comeback in the spring and returned to that sort of level in first-time blinkers latest (came home nicely over 7f on Polytrack); is one of the likelier winners. |

Kept on from the rear for midfield finish over 1m here on handicap debut a fortnight ago; needs to build on that performance today but remains unexposed and the extra 2f might be in her favour.

Well beaten over 7f at Newcastle (AW) on all three starts but has shown some ability and the step up to 1m could be a positive on handicap debut, for which she has a lowly mark; interesting contender for in-form yard. |

0-10 but arguably ran better than finishing position suggests when fifth in selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; may benefit from this drop back in trip and could have a say.

24th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't see out 11.5f on soft turf here a fortnight ago, but had kept on okay over 1m4f on this Polytrack two runs before, albeit still beaten over 9l and operating a shade below a winning level; bit more needed. |

Cut little ice in three AW novices (7f-8.6f) towards end of 2023 and makes handicap debut after a 257-day layoff, but she's open to improvement this year and good market support will make her of strong interest.
