Verdict
No match for subsequent Coventry Stakes runner-up at Newmarket in April. Followed up wins at Pontefract/Nottingham with eye-catching third in strong Glorious Goodwood and can be forgiven subsequent effort on soft ground in the Goffs Million. Makes plenty of form appeal on return to 5f.

Verdict
Made it third time lucky when winning 10-runner Newbury novice. Sat close to a sound pace when creditable 1½ lengths third on nursery debut and didn't look entirely comfortable on the track when beaten 5¼ lengths in strong race at Goodwood latest. Interesting now tried over 5f with stall 1 to aid.

Verdict
Confirmed debut promise when running out a convincing winner of a Leicester maiden before good fifth in Super Sprint at Newbury. Unable to get to the lead/justify support back down in trip at Windsor last time. Could be worth another chance from a reasonable draw here.

Verdict
Registered a second win in 3-runner Windsor nursery in July. Outclassed in the Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and possibly lost his race in the stalls back in nursery company at Haydock on most recent outing. Capable of a more competitive showing under returning Billy Loughnane.

Verdict
Beat a subsequent winner with something up his sleeve when making a successful debut at Nottingham (5f) in early-April. Excuses on reappearance prior to running well when 2½ lengths behind a useful one on nursery bow at Haydock latest. That form puts him in the mix.

Verdict
Confirmed her debut promise to some tune when landing a 6f York novice last month. Beaten before the longer trip came into play on nursery bow at Newmarket (7f) since, however, the booking of Oisin Murphy offers hope of a bounce back.

Verdict
Showed something like his debut form when beaten 4 lengths on qualifying run at Chester (6f) last month. Since gelded and could have a bit more to offer fitted with a tongue tie on nursery bow.

Verdict
Made a successful nursery debut at Nottingham (5f) in early-July. Fared much better than she did in the Super Sprint when 1¼ lengths third in a relatively valuable fillies' nursery at Newmarket (6f) latest. Needs more again back over the minimum trip against the boys.
