Steady progress in three starts so far and open to more now handicapping. Yard respected and worth a check in the betting.
Not shown much in three outings up to press - pedigree suggests the gelding will do better when asked to tackle a mile-plus. Others preferred here.
Initially cost €30,000 as a yearling but brought just £3,000 back at the sales. Repaid the faith with a win in modest company at Catterick last time, but not certain to repeat the feat in better company.
Not made much headway in four previous outings and already looks to need a tad further than the minimum trip. Others more appealing.
Likeable breeding and has dropped a couple of hints that she had a race like this within her. Latest effort more encouraging and certainly worth considering here.
Posted an encouraging effort over C&D on debut and not disgraced at Kempton shortly afterwards. Latest effort left a bit to be desired though. Another with a bit to prove.
Getting the hang of things slowly (was never a factor in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot) and comes here on the back of her best effort to date when fourth at Thirsk earlier in the month. Drop back to 5f may help and one to watch in the betting.
Achieved very little so far but is bred to appreciate sprint distances. Possible the move into handicaps will bring about some improvement but a leap of faith required on what he has consented to show so far.
Bred to get at least 7f and her efforts up to press suggest she will do better when faced with a sterner test of stamina. Yard capable of having one ready for a race of this nature but notable they have been pretty quiet of late.
Can race keenly and has experience of this C&D. But only glimmers of ability so far and she needs to step things up considerably after her latest effort. Also debatable as to whether the drop back to 5f will be ideal.
Never started at odds shorter than 33/1 so far and has run accordingly in her three outings up to now. Surprising if she will be good get off the mark in her first try in a nursery and is probably best watched.
Interesting on breeding and very likely she will do better once she steps up in trip a touch. But her yard is struggling for winners just now and she makes limited appeal for this, however.

An ordinary maiden at best and one which may be within the compass of ZAIN SMARTS, who cost £50,000 as a yearling but has taken a bit of time to get used to racing. Her latest start on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton created the impression that the Kodiac filly has a race within her and she rates as a solid option in a weak race. Dream Prospect is respected and has room to prosper under a what may turn out to be a lenient mark, while Go Bananas has already been highly tried but will find this much more her level and is also feared.
