Form & Verdict
Out of a multiple 6f-1m winner for this yard; eyecatching third at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on debut, repeatedly short of room in the straight then finishing well once belatedly in the clear; the bare form can be marked up significantly; interesting.

Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface.

Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue.

Maiden; has run well at about 7f (turf) and 1m (Polytrack) for new yard of late but lacked the pace to challenge over a bare 7f at Chelmsford recently; acts on Tapeta elsewhere and return to 1m should help; first-time hood added to refitted blinkers; thereabouts.

Beaten a neck on her debut in a 15-runner Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last August and had little trouble in going one better in a Catterick maiden (6f, good to soft) the following month; shouldn't have a problem with the extra furlong on handicap debut after nine months off and remains open to further improvement.
