Form & Verdict
Unconvincing record for new stable this term and was held in selling grade two starts ago; however, judged on peak form for the Cole yard he's one of the main contenders in this field; all wins on slow ground; visor replaces usual cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Has something to find at the weights but earns points for being the only runner with winning form in 2022, the success gained in low-grade handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f) in August; heavy ground wasn't ideal last time; has possibilities as her main rivals don't look bombproof.

Modest RPRs in middle-distance races on AW, finishing last of four at Lingfield then well held in deeper field at Kempton; combination of sharp drop in trip and change of surface needs to have significant effect.

Form & Verdict
Raced exclusively on AW for Richard Hughes; form dipped sharply the last twice and was subsequently sold for just 2,000gns; however, drops in class on turf/stable debut and sets a clear standard based on best RPRs; tongue-tie applied on return from five-month break.

Represents a trainer and jockey who have had excellent winters but he's yet to be placed in nine outings; possibly failed to stay 1m at Southwell two weeks ago; cannot be discounted with the combination of tongue-strap/blinkers on for the first time, but he carries obvious risks.
