Form & Verdict
Has improved since switched to handicaps this spring and drew clear to win easily under Jack Callan when upped to 11.6f at Bath (good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and will be very hard to beat if in the same form again here.

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.

Form & Verdict
Four-time C&D winner who looked a shade unlucky not to add to her tally when very close second here in October; seems versatile regarding ground but has fitness to prove after six-month break, and her record when fresh is not good.
