Form & Verdict
Well held in late summer on first two starts (7f); gelded and hooded when remote in novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) four weeks ago; he was 150-1 in the latter and should have better prospects on this handicap debut, but the market can guide again.

Progressive sort who bids for a hat-trick under a 6lb penalty after two wins at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack); finished runner-up here (8.6f,) in March and hard to dismiss in his current mood.

Comfortable win with hood removed on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in December; held in his three runs since but his second at Wolverhampton was a creditable effort in March and he was drawn widest when sixth of 14 at Kempton last time; holds major claims.

Back from a break with two narrow wins here (9.4f) in the autumn but her spark has been missing in last four runs; now only 1lb higher than for her last win, but slow starts have been an issue recently and she still has something to prove at this trip; first-time eyeshields.
