Form & Verdict
Just a single win, at long odds-on in a Polytrack maiden, to go with a good few short-priced reversals and hasn't always looked the easiest; will want to settle better round here, back up in trip, and the handicapper ultimately knows where he is with her.

Form & Verdict
Picked up for 35,000gns after coming away with the favourite off a 3lb lower mark at Goodwood in high summer; a propensity to pull hard, including since the hood went on, is a concern back from a break but he's respected.

0-5 and a bit of a mixed bag so far, his best effort when beaten a short head and a head into third of seven in a maiden here (9.5f) in January; well held in both handicaps, but there is stamina in his pedigree with the longer trip in mind and he remains unexposed.

He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence.
