BONNIE'S BOY is on the up and his form is solid, so he's fancied to defy a mark of 80 at the first attempt. Last-time-out winners Our Mighty Mo and Candy are the main threats.

Verdict
Improving by the run and shaped well again when runner-up at Newcastle last time. Opening mark probably underestimates him and he should take the beating.

Verdict
Left previous efforts well behind when landing a 7-runner event at Hamilton on nursery debut, seeming to be well suited by the emphasis on stamina. This might be more of a speed test but he's still well respected.

Verdict
Followed a likeable winning debut at Thirsk with a tame display at Ripon last month, possibly not handling the track. Not one to write off switched to nurseries.

Followed a good second at Newbury with his first success when seeing off a couple of rivals there 15 days ago. Only up 2 lb for that and should put up another bold showing.

Verdict
Improved for step up to this trip when decisively landing nursery at Nottingham in August and, while she wasn't in the same form at Goodwood 17 days ago, it's too soon to rule out further progress.

Made the frame again when fourth of 17 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Lacks the potential of some of his rivals but not without hope. Engaged 1.42 here Thursday.

Took a step forward when winning 8-runner nursery at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 11/2) 9 days ago, slowly away. This looks a stronger event and he's turned out quickly, but very much respected.
