Form & Verdict
0-16 but made brave bold from the front before weakening into third at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month and faced impossible task when second of four behind well-handicapped rival here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be suited by this drop back in trip; dangerous if allowed to dominate.

Second in a field of four when tried over this far three runs back; has since won a 1m2f classified race and finished third in another when penalised; should run well provided his stamina stands the test.

A maiden after 14 starts but looked suited by step up to 1m2f when coming from the rear to go close in this grade at Lingfield (good to firm) three weeks ago and has each-way claims at least if in similar form.

Yet to score but she posted a good second in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth in 8.5f handicap there later in March; possibilities after a break.

Form & Verdict
Kept on for third in AW handicap here (1m2f) in March but was well down the field on both subsequent starts (1m4f/1m2f) and is now 0-9; eased in grade but needs three-month break to have done her good.

Third of six in a classified event here (1m2f, good to firm) last month and she improved to win an Epsom handicap two weeks later; has form on AW and she's one to consider despite a small rise in the weights.

Gave fairly good account when third of six in basement-grade Lingfield classified (1m2f, good to firm) last month but this ten-race maiden has a rather mixed record and is probably not the percentage call here.

Competitive on the Flat this summer and again on his return to hurdling here 12 days ago when finding one too good (hood returned); due a 1lb rise but this is a step up in grade.
