Form & Verdict
Justified strong market support on his handicap debut at Kempton in April (6f); better form when second at Windsor later that month but his form dipped back at Kempton six weeks ago; now 2lb higher but could still have a bigger effort in him.

Trapped wide at Kempton last time having run well a couple of times at Chelmsford; two previous runs on Tapeta weren't great, however, and others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Modest form in maiden/novice company but she took a step forward when second of ten, beaten a neck, on last week's handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm); that effort can be upgraded as he had to wait for a gap to appear on that occasion and the winner got first run; obvious chance of the same mark if proving as effective on slower ground.

Dual winner for Jamie Osborne last year, the latest at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in October; regressive in three starts over 7f here since returning for this yard in March, though, and will need the switch to cheekpieces to make a difference; yard also runs Golden Pharaoh.

Promise in his first two handicaps (6f AW and 7f good) but he didn't handle the bend at Windsor five weeks ago and was again well beaten back at Windsor last month; down in the weights but ground slower than good would be a query.

Form & Verdict
Has shown promise in his five starts; 6f looked inadequate around Lingfield's AW track in March but 7f has stretched him the last twice; perhaps this stiffer test at 6f will suit and a new tongue-tie may help matters too; not fully exposed and he's one to consider.

Made his breakthrough (11th attempt) in a Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a creditable fourth at Salisbury but he has taken a strong hold at times and his form nosedived at Yarmouth last week; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back on this return to Polytrack.
