Form & Verdict

Bred to stay further than 6f but she had no trouble going the gallop over 7f at Wolverhampton in December; lesser effort there since but handicaps will have been the aim; of interest at this level for the first time and worth a market check; southern yard 1-8 here.

Has improved since gelded, switched to handicaps here and fitted with headgear, but he was no real match for A Fine Claret late on over C&D 13 days ago and he needs extra to turn the tables on these terms.

Form & Verdict

Dropped right out on handicap debut over 7f at Chelmsford but he fared much better in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (6f) last week, getting to the front early from the widest stall and grimly hanging on to his lead; 2lb badly in under penalty but still one of the more likely ones.
