Form & Verdict

Always well positioned when making a winning debut at Haydock last September (7f, good); only third under a penalty at Newcastle three weeks later; bred to appreciate the step up to a mile but he will need to improve for it if he is to defy his penalty.

Form & Verdict

Market springer on his Newbury debut last July (6f, good to firm) but he dropped away to finish tenth of the 12 runners; this trip should be more suitable and he could take a good step forward.
