Form & Verdict
All three starts over 6f on Tapeta this year, winning his first two novices but then unable to concede 15lb to a progressive sort on handicap debut at Southwell last month; extra furlong shouldn't be a problem and respected for stable that won this with the smart El Caballo two years ago.

Started his career with a progressive spell on AW that culminated in Listed success; has failed to transfer that form to turf since and may be more interesting when returned to an artificial surface.

Very progressive on AW this year, including a 7f Listed race win at Lingfield, but below that level switched to turf the last twice; bit too soon to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass but he has it prove for now.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed at Doncaster on his second start last June after his promising Chester debut, but made no mistake back from six months off with a hood fitted in a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) in December; 83-day absence since then shouldn't be an issue, but he needs plenty more in this company.

Won two of her first three starts over 6f on turf last August/September, but took a step backwards in a York Listed contest (6f, soft) in October; has plenty to find back from five months off, but is related to AW winners and the stable won this three years in a row between 2017 and 2019.

Now 2lb lower than for her Doncaster win in April (6f, good to firm); no progress since (5f to 7f) and a hood didn't spark a major transformation at Newmarket two weeks ago, dropping away in the final furlong; only other AW start came over 7f and this trip should be more suitable.

Showed promise on her Chelmsford debut in November and justified odds-on in a Wolverhampton novice (7f, Tapeta) in January; likely to win more races but perhaps not this one.
