Verdict
PENHALLAM is the sole previous winner in the field and on the back of his best effort yet when second at Newbury a fortnight ago, he makes plenty of appeal for his in-form stable. Lucky Hero is second choice with Oisin Murphy taking over, while Piazza boasts the right profile for nurseries and represents a shrewd yard.

VerdictImproved again when making third start a winning one at Newbury in July. Mid-field in a warm nursery at Goodwood and back on the up when second of 8 in nursery at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Has to be taken very seriously up 2 lb. - 7.

VerdictLeft debut form behind when second of 10 in maiden at Kempton (6f), looking sharper for the outing and shaping well in defeat to a potentially useful type. Similar form when fifth in a better race on turf upped to 7f and now tackles a nursery having been gelded. One to note.
