Form & Verdict
Recorded his second win when justifying favouritism in good style at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; was held under a penalty at Thirsk (2l fifth of eight) but the switch to soft ground may have blunted his weapons and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; dangerous.

Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred.

Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Musselburgh (5f, good); given the narrow winning margin (a nose), a 2lb rise looks fair; should be thereabouts; stablemate of Resilience.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when making all to score by over 4l at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last Monday; switches back to turf under a penalty but she's run some good races in this sphere and is well treated if she can match that latest form; big player.
