Close second of 14 on handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good) and didn't quite see out the 1m4f at Haydock (good to firm) latest, though again ran well; looks handicapped about right but not without hope.

Close third at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but hasn't quite reproduced that form since, including 6l fourth of eight back at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm again) in this headgear combination six weeks ago.

Close third over C&D in May since when he's been up against it in Class 2s won by a Group horse and then the John Smith's Cup, in which he ran perfectly well for a 66-1 chance; very capable of a big show, though the cheekpieces are new and so too is Donagh Murphy claiming 7lb.

Back to form with close third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May; however, only seventh of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time on ground he should have handled; can be slowly away; others preferred.

May have found the trip stretching her when sixth of eight at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; ran well over C&D on her debut, but she doesn't always look the easiest and others look more solid; no headgear today.

Got back on the scoresheet over C&D (Class 4) last July but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his three runs this year; has dipped back below his last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred.

Both wins have been over 1m2f on the AW, the latest here in November off only 1lb lower; it was a Class 2 in which she predictably struggled on her latest visit (AW) and reportedly lost her action at Pontefract latest; earns respect.

Much better on the AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D last summer; just 1lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June and she could go well.

Form & Verdict
Not as good as he was when winning three times at about this trip in France (all on turf) but he was backed into favouritism at Windsor a month ago (1m2f, soft) and was a bit keen; ran quite well on good to firm on his penultimate start; possible.
