Form & Verdict
Promising debut here last September where he was green and looked stretched by 7f, losing four places in the final 110 yards; found improvement dropped to 6f when runner-up at Brighton the following month and he ended last season with another close call at Chelmsford in October; leading form contender on his return and he should have more to offer as a 3yo.

J: Hollie Doyle

Small step forward when comfortably winning Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) on his return three weeks ago; will need more again on this handicap debut but that's by no means unlikely and he ran well on quick turf in October; respected.

9st 7lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Jack Jones

Promising debut at Wolverhampton last month where he was green and looked stretched by 7f, losing four places in the final 110 yards; again inclined to over-race at Brighton two weeks ago (6f, good to firm) but he showed improvement, only picked off by the winner close home; capable of better and he could take some pegging back around here.

Fair form when placed on all her three runs to date, staying on into third of nine in 6f Wolverhampton novice last month; not out of things with this step up to 7f a likely plus.

Promising start to her career when third of 13 at Chelmsford last month (6f; well backed); that is the best form on offer and she is open to improvement.
