Form & Verdict

Now 0-8 but does have some quite solid handicap form to his name this summer, particularly over this trip; weakened towards the finish when third of eight at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; firmly in the mix with the drop back to 7f a help if anything.

Form & Verdict

AW maiden winner who struck at the third time of asking in handicaps on turf when shading a close finish over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago; only nudged up 1lb and it's possible she could have more to offer as a low-mileage 3yo; stable among the winners.

Form & Verdict

Back to winning ways with first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue-tie (combination retained) when quite comfortably seeing off 12 rivals over 7f at Newmarket (good) seven weeks ago; while consistency hasn't really been his strong suit so far a fair chunk of his 7lb rise is offset by Brandon Wilkie's claim and he'll go well again if in similar form.

Form & Verdict

Both wins came over 7f on good ground around this time last year; runner-up twice over C&D on good to firm this summer and has had excuses for her below-par runs since; her hold-up style (can miss the break) dictates that things need to drop right but she's more than capable off this mark if they do.
