Form & Verdict

Hasn't convinced in two runs at beyond 7f, latterly on Tapeta four weeks ago, but has a better chance of seeing it out round here; has never been consistent but is back on his last winning mark.

Form & Verdict

Not much luck with one thing and another before an improved effort last time off the same mark; tends to do most racing over 7f now and a lot will hinge on how he settles and how the race pans out.

Dual 1m2f winner at Lingfield in the winter, latterly off 7lb lower; will be happier back to Polytrack but the drop in trip, minus the usual hood, is a touch off-putting into better company.

Form & Verdict

Enjoyed the run of the race when winning at Lingfield last autumn and the outside stall isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end; nothing exciting about his first-time-out efforts the past two seasons either.
