Has a good pedigree and he was well backed when a promising second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta; 5-2) two weeks ago; has leading claims on that form and he should benefit from that initial experience; big player.

On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it.

On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-6 and was disappointing at Southwell 13 days ago but she went very close in a 6f novice here on her penultimate run and that was after a fair third over 8.6f at Wolverhampton last month; takes a big step back up in trip and could be a major force if she can get back near best.

Has shown promise with his two frame efforts this winter, most recently when a keeping-on third at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; 15-8 favourite) last month; didn't really progress from his debut form that day but he's a brother to a winner at up to 1m3f and is a possible improver on this step back up in trip; respected.
