Form & Verdict

Well handicapped on his early-2020 form and last month's run at Ffos Las, which was his first outing since March 2021, wasn't without promise; watch the betting, but it's questionable how much ability he retains.

Form & Verdict

Unbeaten in a bumper and three non-handicap hurdles, all confined to her own sex and all on good to soft ground; faces no easy task off a pretty tough mark on her handicap debut but she won easily over 2m3f at Taunton last time out in February and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.

Form & Verdict

Inconsistent across his four starts last season but he won at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in March when last seen; ran well when third on last season's reappearance (2m3f, heavy) and he could be in the mix on his return, especially with his stable's horses running well.
