Verdict

ROCKIN' THE BOAT still looked in need of the experience when showing improved form on handicap debut earlier this month and she looks open to further progress over this extra furlong. Winston's Warrior is going the right way and caught the eye travelling powerfully when runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton. He's the main danger ahead of Bulletin, who brings solid handicap form to the table.

Verdict
Promising debut third behind 2 useful types (second won the Nell Gwyn this year) in a July course maiden last August. Didn't build on that in subsequent maiden starts but improved when fourth on handicap debut (7f) earlier this month. Will come on for that experience and has solid claims up in trip.

Verdict
600,000 gns yearling Kingman colt. Improved on each start, still looking a bit rough around the edges when runner-up in a 1m Newmarket novice 13 days ago, bumped into a potentially smart one. Open to further improvement on handicap debut.

Verdict
Steady improvement in maidens but showed much improved form when nearly justifying support on handicap debut, narrowly beaten at Kempton (1m) 24 days ago, travelled enthusiastically and pulled clear of rest. Up in grade returning to turf but remains open to improvement.

Verdict
Much improved since handicapping, beating a subsequent winner when scoring at Southwell (1m) before an excellent second on turf debut at Epsom (8.5f). Shaped as though still in form when fourth of 10 in a 1m Ascot handicap 20 days ago and looks set to give another good account.

Verdict
Improved to get off the mark at the first time of asking in a 1m Southwell maiden in November and ran at least as well in defeat over the same C&D the following month, chasing home a couple of well-bred rivals under a penalty (form franked since). Gelded and could have more to offer back on turf.

Verdict
Off the mark at third attempt when landing 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f) prior to showing improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton over this distance 24 days ago. From an excellent family and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet.

Still green on second racecourse outing but backed at long odds and showed improved form to get off the mark after 6 months off at Kempton (7f) last time. Could have more to offer on handicap debut over the extra furlong.

Verdict
Much improved from debut when winning 9-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f), finding plenty to lead late having been outpaced under 3f out. Failed to improve up in grade on handicap debut at Nottingham last month and looks to have something to find on bare form.

Verdict
Just over a length behind a useful sort and still green when third in a Catterick maiden (7f) but failed to progress when filling the same position at Wetherby on first attempt at 1m last month. Will need to improve on handicap debut.

Verdict
Best run came when runner-up at this track (7f) as a juvenile. Finished a well-backed seventh of 14 in valuable sales race at York (7f, soft) on final 2-y-o start in October. Likely needed the run on his seasonal return on first try over 1m and certainly looks worth another go at this trip.

Verdict
Improved on a low-key debut display when fourth behind some useful types in a maiden at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Strong in betting but could not justify support when stepped up to 1m at Thirsk on final outing last season. Since gelded and could resume progress now sent handicapping.

Showed promise on first two runs in maidens but still looked green making handicap debut after 6 months off, well held at Newmarket (7f) 42 days ago, hung right and carried head a bit awkwardly under pressure. Now hooded and has plenty to find.

Verdict
Left debut run well behind when second of 12 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) but unsuited by the drop back to 7f at Leicester next time when still showing signs of inexperience, outpaced and made late headway. Should be more at home at this trip back on turf.
