Form & Verdict
Two from two since wearing a tongue-tie and switched to handicap level, both wins over 6f, latest impressively in apprentice race at Lingfield last Saturday; bred to stay this extra furlong; escapes a penalty and appears capable of completing the hat-trick, with future mark 10lb higher.

Won his first five handicaps, soaring up the weights and now rated 39lb higher than for his first success; the handicapper may now have caught up judged on his last two starts; needs to resume progress after ten weeks off.

Form took off once handicapping in a tongue tie and his impressive C&D win on Good Friday, his fifth on the bounce, was off 32lb higher than the first; progress ground to a halt on turf last month but not out of the question the return to AW will perk him back up.

Debut (well beaten) was her only start on turf; sent handicapping for last two outings and came second of eight at Wolverhampton (7f) in February on latest, albeit beaten 13l; relatively early days but it's not yet clear that she's worth this mark.

Thrice-raced filly who made the frame at Kempton (6f) when last seen, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit on handicap debut; may take another step forward; one to consider.

Returned to form with a bang when easily making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; she has an in-and-out profile and is unproven on turf, while she's 9lb higher today, but she could take plenty of catching if reproducing that latest performance.

Has been inconsistent in her eight starts but she won a Kempton nursery (6f, Polytrack) in August and was a clear third of 13 at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last week; 3lb well in off similar mark here and she's a big player if she can repeat that form back up in trip.
