Form & Verdict
Poor form in sprint maiden/novice runs as a 2yo; well backed on his handicap debut over C&D last month and toyed with his opposition, sauntering 6l clear in the straight (third and fourth home have won since); long odds-on favourite to follow up at Newcastle nine days later but raced freely and dropped away in the closing stages; 15lb higher than for his win but it's probably not beyond him.

May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer.

Won three times in minor company on AW in January; an extended 1m was probably too far in her bid for a four-timer in February and she's been given a break since a lesser effort seven weeks ago; stable in form and she could still have improvement in her back on turf.
