Studious
Showed a small amount of ability in his first three starts, but after six months off and having been gelded he improved plenty when making a successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; 6lb rise looks fair, but given how strongly he hit the line there dropping back in trip may pose a question.

Sweet Cicely
Improved for the step up in trip when second of nine on nursery debut (7f, Wolverhampton; 80-1) last month; up 2lb but this stiffer track may suit her even better and a big run can be anticipated.

Penelope Valentine
Mildly progressive in her first three starts over 5f/6f on turf, but improved when second of 12 on nursery/AW debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in September; open to improvement, but she has a four-month absence to overcome.

Bantz
Didn't go on after showing early promise for William Haggas last year; endured a wide trip at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago, but still hard to warm to.

Herkeios
Out of the frame in all three starts on the AW in the autumn, but showed some ability when sixth of 14 at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) on his second outing; bred to be better than that and may show more now upped in trip on handicap debut with blinkers fitted.

Almasi
Showed some promise in three starts for the Newland/Insole stable as a 2yo and on her second outing for this yard, but she finished around 8l behind Sweet Cicely when beating one home at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last time; needs more.

Cuban Lynx
Second of ten here (5f; visored) last month and third of eight at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta; blinkered) a week ago, but is now 0-10; three previous goes over this far and beyond raise serious concerns; no headgear today.

Good Reward
Hasn't beaten many in her first five starts including in blinkers last time; look elsewhere.
