Form & Verdict
Three thirds and a fourth from his four handicaps; showed he stays 1m6f last time (good to firm) and should again be seriously involved if the first-time headgear has no adverse effect.

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

J: Harry Skelton

Made all in two juvenile hurdles for Adam West last summer; not much has gone to plan since but she'll find this much less competitive than the two valuable handicaps she contested for Dan Skelton this spring (held up in rear both times) and may benefit from a return to more positive tactics.

Much more competitive on handicap debut at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) last time, coming from the back when second of seven to an easy winner; on that evidence she should stay and may have a bit more to offer; good chance in a weak race.

Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options.
