Well beaten on his first two starts but he achieved a bit more at Kempton last time, albeit he was well placed early and dropped away when the tempo increased; stepping up in trip can help, as may the addition of blinkers; worth a market check.

Well backed when winning a weak Tapeta handicap in first-time blinkers three weeks ago; said to have run flat when well beaten off his revised mark last time and that leaves him something to prove now switched to cheekpieces.

First signs of promise when finishing in midfield on her handicap debut at Kempton last month (1m); confirmed that when third of ten in a similar event at Lingfield last weekend, not aided by being forced wide on the home turn; the cheekpieces will have to work as well a second time but she's unexposed and going the right way; considered.
