Form & Verdict
Cashed in on a reduced mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in June and he got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (1m, AW) ten days ago; that was a clearcut win last time and this resurgent 4yo is a major player again under a penalty (due to be 1lb higher in future).

Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently.

Form & Verdict
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.

Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough.
