As reliable as they come on AW, winning five of his 16 starts in this sphere and second or third on a further nine occasions; has a rare handicap run today but he looks held by Chancellor on their Southwell clash in February (3lb better off for a length but the winner had a bit to spare).

Classy performer on AW; turned in a career-best effort when winning a 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford last month (after seven months off) and ran at least as well when third in a 1m4f Listed event at Kempton 18 days ago; should make another bold bid and he boasts the highest BHA rating in the field.

Ready winner of a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle in October and the RPR of 111 he recorded there brings him right into the reckoning; he has come up short in Listed events the last twice, however, and he has work to do with Base Note on their latest Kempton run.

Created a positive impression when the well-backed winner of a fillies' maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March; flopped on heavy ground on her return to the track in October but she took a step forward when just failing to beat a well-touted Gosden newcomer over C&D 18 days ago; pitched in much deeper today but the best is still to come from her.
