Form & Verdict
All turf runs have been on good/good good to firm; won a Chepstow maiden (6f) last July and he ran well to finish third in handicaps in his final three runs last season; shaped as though he needed the run on Ripon reappearance last month and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him.

His two wins for Alice Haynes came over 6f but he wasn't beaten far dropped to 5f when last seen in October; sold for 40,000gns soon afterwards; on a handy mark ahead of his stable debut; goes without headgear; betting should guide.

Half-sister to the Lockinge winner Audience; has shown clear promise in three maidens this spring, including with a front-running third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and she's an interesting contender back in trip.

Prominent racer; progressive last year, winning on three occasions, including when making all at Haydock (5f, good) when last seen in October; now 5lb higher but this well-bred filly looks the type to continue progressing as a 4yo; holds an entry in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot.

From a fine family and things have clicked since dropping to 5f, making short work of her rivals in small-field Windsor novice in August and following up at Chester 19 days later (both good to firm); had stall 1 there and an 8lb rise isn't obviously generous but the form has worked out and she could well have more in the tank; interesting.

Won a C&D novice (good to firm) on her second 2yo run; 0-7 since but was runner-up at Kempton last month before an eyecatching fourth back over C&D last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and she could have a big role play.
