Record over C&D reads 133 and her latest third of six behind The Defiant here (first-time blinkers) was even better than it looked with the blindfold being removed late; down another 1lb but the draw hasn't been kind; no headgear today.

Form & Verdict
Placed in his first two runs before facing a stiff task in the Super Sprint; made light of his opening mark with an emphatic front-running display over C&D 25 days ago, recording a good Topspeed figure in the process; up 8lb in a stronger race but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet.

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form.

Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114).

Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Sprung a 125-1 surprise at Ffos Las on his second start (6f, good to firm) but has since proved there was no fluke about it with solid efforts in the Super Sprint and a Salisbury novice; not obviously thrown in for his nursery debut though and there are plenty of in-form rivals.

Ffos Las maiden winner (6f, good) who fared better than could have been expected when a near-8l sixth of eight at 250-1 in the Group 1 Middle Park over C&D (good) last September; however, that form may flatter him and he's been hit with a 10lb rise; well beaten both runs on slow ground.

Took a good step forward when winning a C&D maiden this month and she confirmed herself to be an improved filly when easily accounting for five rivals on her nursery debut nine days ago; well drawn to attack and a 10lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.
