Form & Verdict
Advanced his RPR with each run last season and appeared to perform below market expectations on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f; first-time tongue-tie) one month ago; that was after a break (and a gelding operation) and perhaps this track will suit better.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Tom Ward

Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he couldn't make an impact at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs to resume his progress to defy this mark.

Prevailed narrowly in similar event at Kempton (6f, AW) with reappearance under his belt, getting off the mark at the fifth attempt; may improve further, provided he's as effective back on turf; respected.

Form & Verdict
His best run last season was on debut when fourth over 6f at Goodwood (hooded in his final race); has been gelded and his yard's patient approach offers hope for him making a better 3yo; market could be informative on this handicap debut.

Again inclined to pull hard, despite the hood, on his first crack at 7f last time; the return to sprinting should suit on just his second turf start.

No progress in his three 2yo runs but he returned after a gelding operation with a near-miss on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; 2lb well in off the same mark here and he's open to more progress at this new trip; interesting contender.

Showed improved form when dropped back to 5f in his second handicap to beat his 16 rivals at Nottingham (5f, good) 25 days ago, travelling strongly and winning comfortably; up 7lb but this well-related colt looks open to further progress.

Consistent in his four runs so far and may well progress for the step back in trip after disputing the lead until weakening into fourth on his handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; 2lb lower and should not be far away.

Not far away in 6f/5f maidens on Tapeta before her backward step here in December; those best efforts give her a chance off this mark and blinkers are tried.

0-7 and a filly whose better efforts were both on AW surfaces; slipping to a workable mark and headgear again being tried (previously wore blinkers once but was last of five); need to see more.

Couple of costly defeats in the winter and has finished held in two runs back in handicaps; yard enjoying a decent spell and a 3lb drop in the weights will help but she's looking exposed now.

Competitive in 5f/6f AW maidens but backward steps since then, finishing last on handicap debut when tried in blinkers latest; retains some potential with the headgear now left off.
