Has shown very little in two AW starts and was always behind last time over 1m2f at Lingfield. Little evidence that he will show more this time on his first try on Fibresand.
Now with a new yard having had two underwhelming runs in turf maidens for Henry Candy. Blinkers now removed for his first start on Fibresand but looks the sort to need more time.
Has shown very little over hurdles and didn't shown an awful lot more on his Flat/Fibresand debut last time out being beaten 19L by a useful sort in a 7f maiden. Much more needed to take a hand here.
Made a very belated debut as a four-year-old at Newcastle over a mile (showed little) and did no better over the same C&D last time out. Makes her Fibresand debut but likely to find this too exacting.
Price decreased from a foal to a two-year-old but does come from a stable that are in decent form making her debut. Half-brother to a mile winner Miniskirt and best watched unless the market says otherwise.
Hooded for his first experience of this surface he showed little on his debut for this yard on debut at Wolverhampton having had one previous run for Roger Varian. Well backed on his debut run he has a decent if speedy pedigree and may be able to do better; sire 0/10 here.
Related to a couple of winners on this surface he made his debut here last month over 7f and offered something to work on staying on well at the end. Has a little more stamina than his Fibresand relations so may suit this trip although handicaps are more likely to be his sphere.
Looks to have been brought along steadily having run in a mixture of AW and turf maidens at up to 1m2f. Travelled well over a mile at Kempton last time out (nearest finish) and would appreciate a stiffer test; makes Fibresand debut with the sire having a good record here.
Made her debut here over 7f (started 50/1) but was held back by inexperience and was also poorly placed throughout on the deep ground on the inside of the track. Made some late headway and looks sure to improve for the experience over a furlong further.
Makes her racecourse debut with a tongue-tie on and has an interesting pedigree for a yard that do well here. Related to two winners in the US and a half-sister to four more; dam was also a winner and the market moves on her will be very telling.

Heather Lark (7/4), Rose Sapphire (9/4), One More Chance (4/1), Dawn Dancer (6/1), Love Rat (13/2), Allleedsaren'twe (12/1), Riverside Bridge (33/1), Forestry (100/1), Keynote (100/1), Lady Sundew (150/1), Hamelin Pool (200/1)
A maiden dominated by the three-year-olds and it could be quite strong form with some interesting candidates lining up. Rose Sapphire makes her debut here for a yard that has a 40% strike rate at the course and given her pedigree she could be useful. Heather Lark sets the standard in form terms but this trip may just be on the sharp side for her and DAWN DANCER who may have been flattered by his proximity to the winner last time out is preferred with that form having been made to look stronger since. One More Chance needs watching in the betting for an owner/trainer combination who have a well fancied runner in the first and a win for that one may trigger some interest in the market. Most of the others would be better off in handicaps although Love Rat has a Fibresand pedigree and a positive run here would augur well for his future prospects in handicaps around here.
