Form & Verdict
Still seeking his first win but he's tumbled down the weights and his last two runs, both over C&D, have been more encouraging; he could really do with settling a bit better in his races but he's not ruled out on his first venture into 0-50 company.

Big chance on her 3yo form but she struggled for both Frank Bishop and Phil McEntee in a six-month spell between September 2021 and March 2022; absent since and although new yard may coax her back at some point, you'd like to see money for her before getting involved; new accessories today.
