Price is shorter than the model makes it.
Inconsistent nine-race maiden; ran well on her seasonal reappearance (9.4f, AW) and a reproduction would see her on the premises.
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest effort (1m; Class 5) and his penultimate run didn't see him to best effect either; has shown promise on turf; not discounted.
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when making all at Leicester 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); up 5lb but the latest run was his first at the trip and he may be able to build on it.
Seven-race maiden; returned to form when third of eight in a Wolverhampton handicap in February (9.4f; cheekpieces first time); still has time to deliver on her early promise and neither track nor ground should be an issue; shortlisted.
Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf.
All three of his wins have come at Brighton; well treated on last summer's ready 1m2f win but returning from an absence perhaps not the time to catch him.
Kept on well to win a 9.4f 0-50 classified race at Wolverhampton in March (for Rossa Ryan); not so good when seventh behind Haveagobeau at Lingfield (1m2f) six weeks ago; others are stronger for win purposes.
Tailed off on his turf debut at Bath last month; his best AW form brings him into the reckoning but there are risks attached; new blinkers replace cheekpieces.
