Left his debut behind when landing a Southwell novice (6f, AW) in July and he took another major step forward when beating a clear second on good to soft at Newmarket in August; has quite a bit to find with his sights raised here but he's been highly progressive so far and his half-sister went close in a 2yo Listed event.
Useful form when winning over 5f at the Curragh (soft/heavy) on debut and he was a close third in a 6f Group 3 there (good) next time; that form puts him in the picture but he's not gone on from that since and is now 1-5 after being held at Longchamp (7f Group 3) last month; others are more persuasive.
Promising third on his Carlisle debut in July and he's justified favouritism in good style at Newcastle (6f, AW) and Carlisle (6f, soft) since; was given a glowing report from Paul Mulrennan after that last race and he has plenty of scope for further progress; respected upped in class.
Took the notable scalp of Big Mojo (Group 3 winner/Group 2 placed) at Beverley in July and he found more progress when runner-up in a Listed race at Ayr (5f, good) two weeks ago; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he's a big player on this step back up in trip.
The form of his close fourth in a French Group 2 is far superior to his British achievements; beaten fair and square in sales races at York and Doncaster in last two starts and cheekpieces didn't seem to make much difference last time; down the list.
Off the mark (sixth attempt) when scoring at Newbury (6f, soft) last month and he followed up in another nursery at Ayr (6f, good) at two weeks ago; looks open to more progress but he recorded an RPR of 85 last time and has plenty to find in this tough race.
Dandy Man colt out of a 1m winner; stepped up on his debut form when close second in big-field novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month; should have more to offer but this is a different ball game in Listed company and he's untried on slow ground.
Won two of his first three starts including a heavy-ground Listed event at Chantilly (5f); found things tough in Group races after that but he got back on track with a close call in Haydock nursery last Friday; that was off a BHA mark of 97 and has claims if he can repeat that form back up in trip.
Made it third time lucky when landing a novice at Pontefract (6f, good) in July but he finished in mid-division in a sales race at York next time and this is tougher switched to a Listed event; one of two runners for the yard and he looks opposable.
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; third of six in Listed race at Sandown (soft) next time but he's struggled in last two runs (Group 2/Listed) and has been gelded since; passed over.
Sole win was in a Newmarket novice (6f, good to firm) in June but he's run some good races when highly tried since including a front-running third of six in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) last month; just about sets the standard at the weights and he's strongly respected on this drop in class.
Filly by Havana Gold; made a successful debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March but she was laboured under a penalty there on her return last month; now switches to turf and she has stacks to find in this hot race.
Made it 2-4 when landing a York nursery (6f, good to firm) in August but that form is well below the standard required here and he's been disappointing in his last two runs.
Won at Beverley (5f, soft) on debut in April but has form figures of 990 since then; ran better than the bare facts in a Haydock nursery last time but she's well down this pack on the figures and has a lot to find back in a Listed race.
Record of 2-6, with his wins in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good to soft) and Windsor novice (6f, good to firm); ran another good race when runner-up in Yarmouth nursery last time but he needs more progress to make a serious impact in this company; cheekpieces added.
Has solid form figures of 2134 and that latest run was in a big-field nursery at Doncaster (6.5f, good) three weeks ago; still has potential but that last run was off a BHA mark of 79 and this is a tough assignment.
Won at Catterick (5f, good to soft) and Hamilton (6f, good) in June/July; went close in sprint nurseries in next two runs and she wasn't beaten far in a Listed event at Ayr two weeks ago; got hampered in the closing stages of that race and she's 7lb better off with the runner-up Uncle Don; could get involved.
Sole win from five starts was in a Newbury novice (6f, good to soft) for Archie Watson in July; found things tough at big price in Group 3 at Ayr on recent stable debut and looks vulnerable again in this Listed contest.
Chepstow debut winner (6f, good to firm) in August but she's been held in her two runs since; was only beaten around 4l in a Listed race at Ayr last time but she needs to find more here and she's untried on slow ground.
Off the mark (fifth attempt) when making all in a Beverley maiden (5f, good) last month; that was a personal best and receives weight all round here but she still has work to do back up in trip in this tough race.
