Form & Verdict
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form.

Won twice in Britain for current yard since winning twice in France; however, beaten 21l at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month following five-month layoff and lacks the scope of his rivals.

Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Kempton 11 days later (10-1 at the time); now returns to turf after a break but he's a dual winner in this sphere and is versatile ground-wise; possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Out of the frame in both starts on the AW (7f/1m) this time last year, but has improved since with three wins over 11.4f/1m4f on turf between May and August; latest Windsor effort (11.4f, good) was not among his best, but still a player in this field.

Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up

Habitual slow starter who is 1-20 and usually seen over shorter, though he ran with credit when fourth of eight over C&D in March; makes his stable debut after seven months off but can go well fresh; market useful.

Sole win from 22 starts came at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) over two years ago; first go for this yard when close fourth of 14 at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday; that was an encouraging start and he's due a 1lb nudge in future.
