ALMERAQ makes his handicap debut with untapped potential and is taken to make an immediate impact. Wicket Keeper looks similarly unexposed and rates the main danger ahead of soft-ground winner Hour By Hour, who shaped promisingly on return and should last longer now.

    Won a handicap at Kempton last October for Michael Bell and gave her all on reappearance/stable debut (following a breathing operation), finished fourth of 13 in handicap at York (28/1) 38 days ago, led over 1f out before headed and couldn't quicken late. Down in class but now faces her elders.

    Lightly-raced and well-bred colt.

Makes handicap debut with potential for better on more suitable ground.

    Recent form has been below par in 6f handicaps, finishing 11th of 16 at Haydock (33/1) 51 days ago after diving right at the start and making no impression. Needs to recapture earlier form to be competitive, though he has run some creditable races over this C&D previously.

    Won at Haydock (7f) in May but ran poorly when 11th of 12 at Hamilton (5f) on latest start (7/1) 36 days ago with usual hood left off. Hood is back on today which could help spark a revival though his best turf form has come on a sounder surface.
