Ran away with a weak maiden at Musselburgh last month and showed that was no fluke when following up in fine style again in a handicap there (again 1m on good) four days ago, both from the front; well treated under a 6lb penalty and 5lb claimer is enlisted; leading claims.

Won novice at Kempton (7f, AW) in March; solid third in 1m handicaps at Southwell (AW) in April and Newbury (1m, good to firm; gelded) when next seen three weeks ago, in the latter (favourite) throwing down a big challenge over 1f out but beaten a length off this mark; lightly raced 3yo who could have come on since that race, so he's one for the shortlist.

Won Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) in February; creditable fifth of 15 in York handicap (7f, good) in May but two backward steps followed, trying cheekpieces on latest; had wind surgery later in June and this is his first run since, with a step up to 1m too, which he should stay; 3yo who needs a second look.

Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) in February; creditable fifth of 15 in York handicap (7f, good) last month but he never got involved back there three weeks ago; now takes another drop in grade but not sure this return to sprinting will suit and others are more persuasive; cheekpieces added. |

C&D race (good to firm) in May under 7lb claimer saw him break a long losing run and he was beaten a neck over C&D (good) in July; competitive again at Musselburgh last week, so he has a place squeak even though he's 2lb out of the handicap.

Has ordinary strike-rate of 3-57 but his last win came at this track in May and he was a creditable fourth back here (1m, good) 11 days ago; hasn't run over this trip for a long time but he has possibilities if he can repeat his latest form; acts on fast and soft ground. |

All five wins have come at Hamilton (two this May) but he is effective elsewhere, as when second off this mark at Pontefract on penultimate outing; cheekpieces on last three outings, not running so well at Beverley on latest and he may have place chance at best in this line-up.

Lightly raced and not at his best in the last two seasons, but he was a fair fifth of eight at Carlisle (1m, good) last time and slow ground could aid his cause today, with his last win coming on good to soft; continues to drop down the weights and he's an interesting contender. |

Turning to 1m and blinkers on last three outings seems to have worked, including for a win at Doncaster (good to firm) and she ran creditably when sixth off this 5lb higher mark at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) latest; should be back on firmer ground today but she does need to find extra from somewhere.
