Form & Verdict
Won two bumpers (one of them on this course) and a 2m maiden hurdle; ran his best race from four attempts on the Flat when a close fourth of eight at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft; made running) two weeks ago; dropping back in distance should be no inconvenience and he has place prospects at least.

11-race maiden (four seconds) in her 11 starts for Sir Mark Prescott; 60,000gns sale and dropped in trip when obliging comfortably in five-runner race over C&D last Monday on first attempt for new connections, so she's firmly in the mix under 6lb penalty.
