Comment: Posted an improved effort when winning a classified event at Windsor (1m4f, good to firm) in June and backed that up when a close fourth of 11 at Bath (1m4f, firm) 49 days ago; good chance if coping with the return to AW.

Comment: 3-18; second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month before winning by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 17 days ago; looks a likely player returned to AW following a 1lb rise.

Comment: 2-2 for Godolphin (1m/1m2f) before huge absence and change of stable; clear signs of retaining ability early in the year but he's struggled in three starts this summer; now drops back in grade; others preferred.

Comment: Beaten a neck over C&D last month before winning a three-runner maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago; returns to 1m for his handicap debut and may yet have more to offer.

Comment: Placed in two Irish maidens last year and was beaten only a neck at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) on stable debut in March; below that level in two starts since being gelded, including when beaten around 7l when third over C&D 13 days ago; makes his handicap debut.

Comment: All six of his wins have been over 7f on AW, with the most recent coming at Kempton in January off a mark 2lb higher than today's; ran well over that C&D following an 84-day break last time (hood discarded, as today) and now drops in grade; the return to 1m is a concern.

Comment: Showed plenty in three starts on AW for Andrew Balding, including when third of 12 behind two useful types at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in February; bought for 7,500gns since and gelded; hood added for handicap/yard debut; interesting contender.

Comment: Shaped well when fourth of eight at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on stable debut in July and again ran well when runner-up at Southwell (7f, AW) nine days ago, following wind surgery, coming from further back than the two he split; returns to 1m; lots to like.
