Form & Verdict
Had very little to spare at Newbury (good) and Yarmouth (good to firm) before finishing fourth following a 7lb rise at Chepstow (behind Four Adaay); perhaps high in the weights now and soft ground isn't his preferred surface.

Form & Verdict
Competitive in big fields in Ireland (7f/1m) to start with this season and needed checking by the vet (fractious in the preliminaries) before disappointing at Chepstow three days ago; could easily bounce back and, while this is her first run over 5f, she's not slow.

Often leads; dual C&D winner who has dropped a fair way in the weights since her Southwell win last December; recent efforts on turf and C&D haven't approached that level, though, so she has it to prove for now.
