Form & Verdict

All four wins have been at 7f; admirably consistent and the winner got first run on him last time at Newmarket (good to firm); has finished first and second under the returning David Egan; every chance once more.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.

Best effort when keeping-on third over 7f here (good) in June, his second handicap; sold out of Richard Hannon's yard for 25,000gns this month; the way he kept on here last time suggests the return to 1m may help; leading claims with new stable among the winners.

Her two 7f wins (good/soft) came at a cost mark-wise and she could finish only sixth at Sandown; this is her first time at this loftier level and she needs a career best by some margin.
