Form & Verdict
Faced stiff tasks in both starts on turf last year, but showed plenty of ability in finishing runner-up in both outings on the Kempton Polytrack (7f/1m), albeit beaten at long odds-on the second time; returns from five months off having been gelded and a major player if ready to go.

Sole win in ten runs came when 1-7f for a 1m AW maiden in March for Andrew Balding, whom he left for 28,000gns; stable debut in August was okay but well beaten on soft ground last month; would seem more likely to give his running than some but he is not straightforward.

Sent off 12-1 when a promising second of nine on her Southwell debut (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; any improvement on that would give her every chance, albeit this sharper track may not be a positive given her stout pedigree; her owners won this with Burdett Road (for Michael Bell) two years ago.
