Much improved when getting off the mark on handicap debut (weak in the market) having shown promise as a 2yo at slightly shorter trips. Carries 6lb penalty for his Beverley (8.5f, good/firm) win, should improve further, decent chance of following up.
Only fair form so far in three minor events returning to action as a 3yo on very different ground than she faced as a 2yo. Yet to place in three starts she's kept to 7f for handicap debut (visor on first-time), not exactly let in lightly.
Ran his best race to date on handicap debut (after just two starts), still showed signs of inexperience at Wolverhampton (7.2f, standard/slow). Finished well held (was strong in market), remains with potential returning to turf off the same mark.
Modest form so far including on a disappointing handicap debut here over 1m recently (always behind) when returning from eight months off. Best effort came at 6f (York second), failed to match that form so far, cheekpieces on first-time.
Given plenty of experience in the early part of the year (didn't race as a 2yo), gaining a win at Lingfield (6f, standard) in March (third handicap). Better than he could show on return to same track last time (6f), remains with potential up to 7f.
Yet to hit the frame in three starts although ran with credit on his handicap debut at Beverley (7.4f, good) last time, beaten 5L. Dropped 2lb but still looks as though he needs to make progress from marks in the mid-60's to make an impact.
0-7 as a 2yo with Mick Channon, instantly broke his maiden on stable debut in a first-time tongue-tie at Yarmouth (7f, good/firm). Finished strongly (needed all the trip), track position may have flattered, now has to follow up off 8lb higher mark.
Failed to confirm some earlier promise when making his Kempton (1m, slow) handicap debut in March. Got back on the up to spring a 33-1 surprise at Lingfield (1m, standard/slow) after a break, 4lb higher, now has to prove himself again back at 7f.
Connections look to be exploring possibilities with her 5f on AW debut not appearing to suit off a break last time (first 3yo start); didn't look finished article as a 2yo. Potential remains especially off a lowly mark, up in trip for handicap debut.
Ran to a fair level on 2yo debut giving the hint he was one for the longer term though. Not matched that form as yet even on handicap debut at Newcastle (5f, slow), dropped 3lb for that effort he's now tried over 7f for the first time, more required.
Modest maiden (left Mark Johnston) having been tried at up to 7f as a 2yo including in nurseries off higher marks. Yet to make much of an impact, may well have needed first run for this yard when down the field at Wolverhampton (7.2f, standard).
Six starts so far, five as a 2yo for Charles Hills, all unplaced, failed to improve for a switch to handicaps. Stepped up on juvenile form on stable/3yo debut (first-time hood) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), needs more of a test, would be suited by 1m+.

La Trinidad (11/10), Jaaneh (7/2), Kentucky Hardboot (15/2), Almqvist (11/1), Dilithium (12/1), Ventura Rascal (16/1), Island Nation (16/1), Jems Bond (16/1), Pettinger (20/1), Some Picture (22/1), Dover Light (50/1), Red Hot Streak (50/1), Abbey Wharf (80/1), Don't Joke (100/1)
Just a modest 3yo handicap and one which offers LA TRINIDAD a fair opportunity of following up his Beverley win last week where he won with a fair bit in hand in a race that contained plenty of unexposed sorts. He should be able to defy his 5lb penalty gained for that victory. There are a few likely sorts lurking in the shadows though one of which would be Jaaneh whose in good hands and has the potential to be better than this mark. Recent surprise winners Kentucky Hardboot and Dover Light have to prove that they can cope with their increased marks and the likes of Dilithium and Almqvist are of more interest both having shown promise of late.
