Form & Verdict
First foal of 6f Polytrack winner; big prices and no real impact in three 2yo runs at that trip on turf; gelded since; yard had few runners this year but this one may well be more of a 3yo handicap prospect and is open to improvement; check market back from break.

Quiet last year but has gone 3-3 in AW handicaps (1m); has risen 18lb in the process and he didn't have much in hand the last time off 4lb lower, but he's on a roll.

Form & Verdict
Dam bred Group 1 winners Best Solution and El Bodegon; has lacked finishing pace in three runs at 7f and 6f but this trip is more in keeping with his pedigree and he's now qualified for ordinary handicaps; now goes in a visor and could do a whole lot better.

Made a handicap blot work hard at Lingfield last month (visored first time) and although he fluffed his lines as favourite at Kempton 11 days ago, he still looks on a good mark; this more testing track can help and he's high on the list in new headgear.

Improved for the step up to 1m on handicap debut when the only one to offer any resistance to a gambled-on winner at Lingfield recently (first-time visor, retained), pair well clear; might have done well to get away with a 3lb rise; good claims.

Close calls in latest two 1m handicaps, unable to hold Hatadora at bay over C&D 11 days ago (made most) and then flying home at Kempton on Wednesday; worrying that he was so slow to pick up on that long straight but should be thereabouts with Hatadora on these terms back here.

Two siblings won at 7f and 1m on Polytrack; has shown promise in maidens on Polytrack herself, unable to sustain challenge at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago but might have needed the run after a break and of more interest now handicapping.
