Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; won a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) last September and she got back on the scoresheet when landing a Yarmouth handicap (1m; first-time visor) last month; up 3lb but she overcame trouble to score with a bit in hand last time and is open to more progress; key player.

Solid operator who recorded his fourth AW win when scoring at Lingfied last month; 0-9 on turf but he returned to this sphere with a close third at Newbury (1m, good) last Friday; up another 2lb but he was as good as ever last time and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Sole win was as a 2yo but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Kempton (7f, AW); should be fine on this step back up in trip and has claims if he repeat that form back on turf.

His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f.

Triple Tapeta winner but his last success was 16 months ago and he was out of sorts in final two runs last season; has something to prove after 205 days off and his turf form lags behind his best AW efforts; cheekpieces added.
