Form & Verdict
Turned over three times at short prices since his Chepstow win and has crept up the weights in defeat; will be popular again but needs to find more for the longer trip on his Polytrack debut (trainer has a surprisingly poor record with 2yos here).

Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces.

All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra.

Best effort yet when third at a big price behind Mirabello Bay last month, despite racing keenly and hanging right off the home turn; isn't straightforward but that gives her something to build on off the same mark.

The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track.

Inclined to pull hard in early runs but was fine in the first-time hood last Tuesday (Tapeta), when a clear second on his first crack at 1m; dam won over 1m4f and he holds leading claims upped in trip again off the same mark (due to go up 4lb from Saturday).
