Ended last season in poor form and, despite a subsequent wind op, also looked out of sorts when back in action last month; needs to get career back on track and is probably better suited by longer trips than this now.

Won a novice hurdle last May and convincingly at York (2m, good to firm; 4lb higher today) in July; however, comfortably held twice off his revised mark, before a heavy defeat in October when last seen; had wind surgery last month and perhaps best watched this time.

Form & Verdict
Shaped better when upped in trip in first-time visor at Wolverhampton (9.5f; runner-up, beaten 3l); that form has been franked since, with both the third and fourth (Little Rose) successful; this stiffer test should suit - dam won over 1m3f and 1m4f - so must have a chance on turf debut.

0-9 on AW; reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f; front pair clear) a fortnight ago but underwhelmed over 1m2f (also good to soft) at Redcar on Saturday; step back up to this trip should help.

Form & Verdict

Progress since fitted with cheekpieces, although it was a modest Class 6 handicap that she finished third in at Wolverhampton (9.5f; winner odds-on) three weeks ago; her dam handled testing going, which instills confidence on first attempt at 1m2f; William Pyle's 5lb claim is handy.

Ran to an identical level on first two starts (1m, Kempton; RPR 65) but form dipped when switched to Lingfield (seventh) latest; should stay as a half-brother to the 14.5f winner Belarga, yet isn't obvious shortlist material on handicap and turf debut.

Outbattled the odds-on favourite to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January; failed to settle over 1m4f at Kempton next time, and then last of six when returning to Wolverhampton; soft ground poses a new challenge (turf debut) after 10-week absence.

Sole success came at Wolverhampton AW in January off 5lb higher mark; best run on turf when second at Hamilton (1m4f, good) in July; below that level in three runs since and yet to run on ground worse than good to soft; hood is back on after being discarded last time.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; didn't have things go his way - bumped at the start and also ran wide - when returning from a gelding operation at Lingfield (1m2f; 40-1) six-weeks ago; his overall profile isn't that enticing though as the handicapper cuts him yet more slack (down 3lb).
