Form & Verdict
12-1 for novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) two months ago, slowly away from wide draw but catching the eye as he came from the back into fifth of eight, beaten just under 2l; down in trip but has a useful pedigree and looks set for major improvement with that experience under his belt.

Only seen once since leaving Andrew Balding 18 months ago, when well held last October; won his novice over C&D and the hood going back on should help but it's hard to know whether he's still up to this sort of mark.

Form & Verdict
Her three seconds (from five starts) make her the clear pick on form, including from 7f/1m on Polytrack; however, she's been a beaten favourite on last four outings and ran poorly when 4-9 at Ayr (6f, good) in August on latest; tried in cheekpieces that day and now has blinkers.

Consistent but frustrating; however, ran creditably in first-time blinkers at Lingfield most recently, finishing clear second behind King's Vanity, and has a major chance at the weights in the rematch; still not written off, despite several short-priced defeats.

1-17, with that win coming off 1lb lower at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September when sporting first-time cheekpieces; respectable effort there over 2m in April but he virtually refused to race on turf two weeks ago and was soon pulled up; best watched.
