Form & Verdict
Went close over C&D in October but he took backward steps in final two runs last season; goes back up in trip and down in grade on his return but he's only won once since September 2022 and others are more persuasive; cheekpieces removed.

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song.

Won at Catterick and over C&D in the autumn and she didn't get any luck here (clipped heels and stumbled badly) in her final run last year; still looks on a workable mark and she's an interesting contender on her return.

Not at her best lately but has become dangerously well handicapped, 7lb lower than when winning for the third time over C&D just over a year ago; ran with credit on a couple of occasions back here in the spring and may be worth chancing in the returning blinkers.

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.
