WARDLAW comes with a health warning, but he's talented and may well follow up his breakthrough victory at Beverley. What's The Plan is feared most tackling 1½m for the first time. High Storm and Bay of Myths are others to consider in a competitive handicap for the grade.

VerdictReturned an improved model this season and looked unlucky not to double his career tally when ½-length second (fourth won since) at Sandown (1¼m) last time. High on the shortlist with the possibility of more to come over this longer trip (bred to suit on dam's side). - 6. WardlawJ: Kevin StottT: Sir Mark Prescott BtF: 054-52231

VerdictQuirky, good-looking sort. Still raw/uncoordinated when forging clear for an improved 4¾-length success at Beverley (1½m) latest, justifying support in a change of headgear. Little doubt that he has the ability to progress/follow up, but whether he has the inclination remains to be seen. - 2. High StormJ: Pierre-Louis JaminT: K. R. BurkeF: 34-2154

VerdictImproved steadily in novice/maiden company, opening his account at fourth attempt at Doncaster (1¼m) in March (looks fairly treated on that form). No immediate impact in couple of 3-y-o handicaps, however, he's in good hands and could be worth another chance following a 3-month break.

VerdictShaded a close finish in a falsely-run handicap at Hamilton (13f) in July. This likely to be a greater test of his stamina, but he's clearly in good form, travelling smoothly when 3½ lengths fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (1¼m) last time.

VerdictHalf-brother to couple of smart middle-distance winners. Justified heavy support starting out at Chelmsford in March. Never seemed happy at Redcar the following month (since gelded) but remains with plenty of potential now handicapping following 4 months off.

VerdictMuch improved when making all under Billy Loughnane on second handicap start at Yarmouth. Couldn't repeat the feat against better opposition when 7 lengths second of 3 there subsequently, and this doesn't look any easier.

Verdict125,000 gns son of Camelot. Best effort when staying-on third in 9f novice at Goodwood last season. Hasn't looked resolute in a couple of starts this year, failing to improve for the switch to a handicap (following a gelding operation) at Sandown (1¼m) latest. At least worth a go over further here.
