Form & Verdict
170,000euros buy as 2yo; promising second on his Leicester debut (1m2f, soft) last month and he filled the same position under another prominent ride at Newbury (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; clear second best on the figures and he's respected for in-form yard.

Low-mileage 4yo who won on turf last term; gelded prior to his good second behind Road To Wembley at Chelmsford (1m6f) on AW/seasonal debut; may well build on that effort; respected upped further in distance.

Cost 260,000gns as a yearling but she made a low-key start when in rear at Kempton (1m, AW; 9-1) in November; this step up in trip looks a good move on pedigree but she needs major improvement on her return.

Disappointed as short-priced favourite on handicap debut at Windsor in July (1m2f, good to firm) but earlier maiden form was progressive (including on good to soft, unraced on slower); dam has produced some winning stayers and this trip could suit well; needs some forgiveness for latest effort but remains of interest.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to four Australian winners; looked inexperienced at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW; 11-4) three weeks ago but he got the hang of things late on and finished well for a clear second behind the favourite; that was an eyecatching debut and he has plenty of scope for progress on this switch to turf; interesting contender.
