Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Reappeared with a win over C&D in April and she followed up with a comfortable success at Redcar (7f, good to firm); flopped in hat-trick bid over C&D two weeks ago but she still looks on a workable mark and could be a big factor if she can bounce back from that blip.

0-16 on turf but he went mighty close at Redcar (good) in October; narrow winner at Southwell (also 7f, AW) on next start in December and it was a good effort when third to Wrydcroft over latter C&D last time; that did come after another two-month break but he's a player if backing it up 17 days on.

Front-runner who was admirably consistent in the second half of last year and reappeared with a good second at Newcastle in March; however, after a lesser run at Thirsk he was beaten a long way at Redcar only 16 days ago, and needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.

Just two wins from 31 starts but this front-runner often runs well and he was a close second on his reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; had to work hard early to lead from wide draw at Thirsk (1m, good) last time so that fifth of 13 was a creditable performance; he's one to consider.
