Form & Verdict
Unable to threaten on his two runs this year (1m2f/1m4f, good) but this lightly raced 4yo was progressive on soft and heavy ground last season and looks set to be back on a slow surface today; could be a contender.

Peak efforts have been on soft or heavy ground, including two wins as 3yo and a creditable place last June when last seen (1m3f; not proven over this far); only eight races in total and he could still have more to give, but substantial rain may be needed; withdrawn twice recently when it didn't arrive.

Neck second of 15 over C&D (good to firm) last August and his seventh of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month can be upgraded as he was slowly away in a race which favoured those ridden more prominently; he's one to consider back up in trip.

Tailed off at Newcastle last time on rare AW run and something to prove after that, but she was in fair form previously and won off this mark at Haydock last August; won over C&D in September 2023 on sole previous course visit and is versatile ground-wise; she shouldn't be written off.
