Form & Verdict
Seeking a hat-trick after easy Exeter success (2m5f, heavy) and following up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft); impressed with how he swooped to the front before two out in that most recent win, before idling on the run-in; up another 10lb but that may not stop him just yet.

Chancing his arm at 3m2f didn't come off last month but previously in fine form this year, winning first four starts at about 2m5f (heavy and good to soft) then running at least as well in defeat at Chepstow in March; should go well again if latest run hasn't taken the sting out of him.

Form & Verdict
Raised the bar a little when showing a good attitude to break her duck at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 7lb for that and those in behind have not done wonders for the form since; will probably need to pull out more to follow up.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.
