Form & Verdict
Came to hand early last season, winning a Thirsk maiden on his second start (5f, soft); highly tried on his next two starts and came up well short but he ended his 2yo campaign with a fair effort over C&D; one to be interested in back from a break.

Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth at Newcastle (6f) but has taken two backward steps since; has his first run beyond sprint distances here and needs to bounce back after seven weeks off.

Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth of 14 over C&D in January but failed to build on that when only sixth of seven at Lingfield (6f) four weeks ago; bounce back needed.

Excelled as a 3yo but found the handicapper in command last year; promising reappearance at Newcastle six weeks ago (first run after wind surgery) and he is on a dangerous mark; widest stall to deal with but foolish to discount.

Form & Verdict
Improved his RPR with each of his three starts, the latest coming over C&D 11 weeks ago; the visor worn then is dispensed with now handicapping; capable of better.

Improved with each of her three starts, getting off the mark with a smooth success at Wolverhampton last month (6f); that form only modest but she was well on top at the finish and there should be more to come.

Siobhanbrogan

9st 9lb

J: Jason Hart

T: Hugo Palmer

Finished second in a 6f fillies' handicap at Wolverhampton last February when rated 4lb higher; not shone in two runs after an absence but down in the weights and the addition of a visor could give her a lift.

Only 1lb higher than when beating Colors Of Freedom over C&D last month; solid placed efforts on his last two starts (caught wide over C&D latest) and he should remain competitive.

Won a similar race over C&D for Joanna Mason last month before again not looking to see out 6f next time; too many near-misses for comfort but holds similar claims to Captain Kinsella on Newcastle running four days ago.

J: Faye McManoman

Again didn't look to see out 6f last time and is best judged on his previous 0-50 Wolverhampton victory; too many near-misses for comfort prior to that but will rightly be popular.

Form & Verdict
Clear with the favourite when springing a 40-1 surprise over C&D on her debut in November; made all to defy a penalty back here in December; more required now handicapping but still likely to make a bold bid.

Front-runner who is 4-8 on the AW including a C&D success in May last year; beaten a head back here on New Year's Day and although off ten weeks since, she is proven fresh; major player.

Made the running for two of her three AW wins; not disgraced over C&D recently in only her second turf run and although more is needed it wouldn't surprise to see her do better on grass.
