Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Showed nothing in four outings last term, earning a BHA mark of 10; combination of gelding operation, first-time headgear, new trip and switch to handicaps is the angle with him.

Something To Do

9st 3lb

J: Grace McEntee

T: George Boughey

9.4f was too short on penultimate start and his third over 1m4f at Lingfield two days ago was much more like it; needs some riding and has worn a variety of equipment; record in his eight handicaps this year includes four seconds and just one win but he will probably end up thereabouts.

Five-race maiden; showed signs of improvement at Southwell (upped to 1m4f) most recently, finishing third behind Bradman and Northgate; beaten 9l by the winner but may build on that effort; in the mix.

Made an encouraging handicap debut at Southwell (upped to 1m4f) where he split Bradman and Rubio De Oro; no match for the winner that day but now gets a 7lb pull and is open to progress; interesting in the rematch.

Made a promising start in handicaps when runner-up at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but he was well held here in his final two runs last winter; has been gelded and is still lightly raced but he has something to prove after seven months off.

First of her two nursery outings was respectable, fifth of 11 at Gowran despite meeting some trouble in running; hard to fancy after moderate Galway run, though perhaps the addition of a tongue-tie will help.

Holds weak claims on her maiden form, down the field over 1m here most recently; however, looks open to improvement now handicapping and upped in trip; parts of pedigree suggest 1m4f will suit.
