Yet to progress from a fair debut, and just a respectable fifth of 10 in a 7f nursery at Kempton last time. Visor should help though (takes some driving), and this is less competitive.
Didn't immediately improve on qualifying efforts when 4¾L sixth of 14 to House Deposit in nursery at Thirsk last time, but drops in grade here, and should be competitive.
Ran well when second in a 5f nursery at Wolverhampton in August, but looks fully exposed now, and beaten off higher marks twice since. Failed to stay 7f here last time, and stamina a concern again.
Has beaten one rival in three outings to date, but those were fairly competitive affairs, and it says plenty for the quality of this contest that he doesn't need to improve a huge amount to be competitive.
Won a weak seller at Catterick in July, and better form when runner-up in a C&D nursery on penultimate start. Not in same form at Ffos Las since, but should do better back on this surface.
Seemed to improve when 7¼L third of 7 to Lonely Boy at Wolverhampton (7f) last time, but little depth to that novice, and possible he's flattered by his effort. Makes nursery debut.
Well beaten on all three starts to date, including in selling company last time, and looks of little account.
Son of Morpheus who has looked very limited in three starts, although out of his depth at Haydock last time, and has more chance of making an impact at this lowly level.
Looking exposed prior to an improved showing in a C&D nursery last time, finishing fourth in first-time cheekpieces, albeit helped by making late headway as others wilted up front.
Has improved to make the frame on all three starts in nurseries, with her best effort a second of 11 to Billy No Mates at Thirsk (1m) last time. This represents a drop in class, and she looks the one to beat.
Shaped quite well on racecourse bow at Beverley, but has gone backwards from that, and well beaten in a Ripon seller last time.
Well down the field in three starts to date, and no sign that she's really getting to grips with racing. Might do better now handicapping, but hard to make a case for her.
Best effort so far when fourth in a C&D novice in June, but still needs to improve on that, and she looked ungenuine when stopping quickly on nursery debut at Chelmsford.

My Ukulele (5/2), Smashing Lass (9/2), Yellow Fire (8/1), Micronize (9/1), Giacomo Casanova (9/1), Blazing Dreams (10/1), Rajy (14/1), She'zanarab (16/1), Palazzo (20/1), Aisling (20/1), Mi Laddo (22/1), Naughty Nigel (25/1), Brambling (33/1), Percy Drake (33/1)
A pretty moderate contest despite the big field, and MY UKULELE is a fairly confident shout having shown progressive form in nurseries. She was second in stronger event over 1m last time, and will benefit from the drop in both class and distance now. Giacamo Casanova wasn't disgraced starting out in handicaps, and will find this easier, while Smashing Lass is respected back at the scene of her best performance.
