Form & Verdict

85,000euros yearling; ran green when a market springer on his belated 7f debut here (10-1) last June, but he made some late gains into a 6l sixth of 12; left Roger Varian since but he's with the same owners; returns after a lengthy absence but he should be more streetwise on this second start and looks a possible improver upped in trip.

Form & Verdict

Eyecatching fourth on her debut here (7f) last September, but she failed to build on that when only seventh of nine at Southwell (16-5) the following month; in good hands and still early days but she needs plenty of improvement upped in trip on her return.
