Form & Verdict

Dual Flat winner at Chepstow (1m4f/2m) but he was a well-held sixth in his final three runs last year and was well below form back over hurdles (remote third) on his recent return; losing run is now up to 12 and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict

Won at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in November but has not gone on from that and he struggled on his stable debut at Kempton last week; overall record now stands at 3-51 and he makes no appeal from out the weights.

Form & Verdict

Frequent slow starter who didn't really fire at Southwell (1m6f) last month but he finished well when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on his penultimate run; his sole turf win came in 2020 but that was on soft and he's on a dangerous mark back in this sphere; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict

Four-time winner at up to 1m6f; had just one run last season but that resulted in a win at Brighton (1m4f, good) and things didn't go her way back on AW in January; returns after another break but she still looks feasibly treated and has claims if this sets up for her closing style.
