Form & Verdict
Closely matched with Irish Approach on their Nottingham form (cheekpieces) and he probably produced something similar when second at Chelmsford (tongue-tie added); hasn't entirely convinced with his finishing efforts and now blinkers are turned to.

J: Rhys Elliott

Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though.
