Form & Verdict
65,000euros yearling; dam bred two useful sorts, including a good C&D winner; easy to back but found plenty when making a winning debut over 6f on Lingfield AW in October; the extra furlong should suit and likely to improve this year.

2-2 on Polytrack, first time out last year and this (so the three-month layoff looks a bonus); has struggled since handicapping on other surfaces but she's drawn to attack and a revival wouldn't shock.

Half-brother to 1m Group 3 winner Gold Town and he's shown promise at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Yarmouth (7f, good) in the last two of his three qualifying runs; should have more to offer for leading yard and he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Scored at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in February and he made a winning turf debut at Bath (5.6f, firm) last month; disappointing back on AW last time but he lost a shoe in that race and still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; could bounce back and he's not ruled out back on turf.

His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form.
