Form & Verdict
Consistent gelding who won well at Lingfield (1m, AW) and with a clear run he might well have followed up off 6lb higher over C&D a month ago (beaten by Roi De Coeur); up another 4lb but he was clear of the third last time and looks a good bet to give his running.

Progressive 3yo who came from off the pace to win over this C&D last month and followed up with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m, AW) 20 days ago, making it three wins from his last four; now steps up in class off this 8lb higher mark but he can't be dismissed in his current form.

Reappeared with a winning handicap debut at Doncaster (good to firm) in April but she was miles below that when favourite but tailed off at Salisbury (again 7f, good) four weeks later; that was too bad to be true and subsequent two-month break suggests something possibly came to light; might be worth another chance.

J: Alfie Redman

Failed to progress from a close call on second start (1m, turf) for Andrew Balding and tried in a hood on final start for him; has faded in two handicaps at 1m and 7f for this yard so the drop to 6f has some logic but the chances are that she needs more weight off her back.
