Form & Verdict
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find.

Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player.

Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree.

Improved with each run in qualifying events but outstayed at 1m2f on soft when switched to a handicap at Ripon (16-1) in July; today's runners are the first on this course for northern trainer combination; needs more.

Won at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and reappeared with promising third there (7f, good) in April; kept on for fifth over this C&D (good) three weeks ago in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently, and the first-time hood may not have suited (left off today); possible player.

Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark at Thirsk (7f) in September; resumed from seven months off with a good third of 13 in another 7f handicap there 27 days ago; could do better still back up in trip with a hood fitted and rates a player.

Lost his action and weakened at Catterick when last seen 199 days ago; prior to that he had comfortably seen off nine rivals in a C&D handicap (soft) in September; only had seven starts and there should be more to come.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite in two handicaps last year, on heavy ground and AW; was always going to be worth persevering with, though, and despite some dodgy steering early on comeback at Ffos Las (1m, good) she won a shade cosily from a subsequent maiden winner; remains with potential off 2lb higher for yard that's 35% (9-26) with 3yos on this track in the last five years.

Returned from a 282-day absence to win at Ffos Las (1m, good) in August and she was first past the post at Salisbury 16 days later, only to be demoted to second; didn't run badly dropped to 7f at Thirsk last month but more will be needed if she is to take this.

Won in spite of racing freely on her seasonal return in August (1m, good); first past the post at Salisbury 17 days ago but subsequently demoted after interfering with the second horse; another small rise in the weights shouldn't prevent a big run.

Slow start to handicapping career but the return to 1m for the first time since her qualifying days has been the making of her, winning a classified event at Chepstow then a game winner of a Haydock handicap (both on good); this stiff test at 1m can suit; up 4lb; can go on improving.

Not much to write home about in her first six starts, but the drop into 0-50 classified company made a big difference when she scored by over 4l at Chepstow (1m, good) 13 days ago; this will be much harder from 1lb out of the weights back in a handicap, but something may have clicked.
