Form & Verdict
Best run was his close third at Newbury four starts back (1m2f, good); a beaten favourite the last twice, latterly under Oisin Murphy when back to 1m2f from 1m5f; the ability is there to threaten should blinkers give him a lift.

1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement.

Strong in the betting when collecting by nearly 4l over C&D last month and didn't appear to stay the extended 1m3f back here last month (also lost a shoe); this mark doesn't look beyond him now back in distance.

Left William Haggas for 28,000gns and a five-race maiden; wasn't far away with blinkers added in either of her handicaps (1m, good to firm) and there are races in her off this mark; no headgear this time over a longer trip that she should stay.

Seven-race maiden who made the frame but was safely held on first two starts for Ollie Sangster (1m2f/1m, turf); wore cheekpieces last time; blinkers are refitted for this AW debut; needs to find something extra.

Didn't run badly on her stable debut at Salisbury last month without quite matching her best efforts for William Haggas; the return of headgear (new cheekpieces) can help though and she's one for the shortlist.

Showed only minor promise in three outings over 1m last autumn but could prove a different proposition now handicapping on reappearance for a stable enjoying a good spell; all the more interesting if backed.
