No great shakes on the Flat and the form of his Sedgefield win (narrowly on good) isn't mindblowing form; however, was ridden more patiently than An Bradan Feasa when 6l off that rival in Grade 2 here last month (on soft) and a mistake at the last flight didn't aid his cause; looks a key player.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden; made steady progress as a 2yo but has gone backwards in two runs this year; may turn things around somewhat now handicapping but doesn't look an obvious major improver.

13-race maiden; good second with a first-time visor (retained) at Newcastle last time (1m); chance on that form, but unproven at 1m2f (well beaten on last run over C&D) and fast ground a concern.

Yet to get his head in front but he wasn't discredited when sixth of ten in 1m Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and he's one to consider off a falling mark.

Form: 31210-

Last run: 166 days

W: 9st 9lb

3 yo Filly

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Form dipped on final 2yo start; generally progressive in handicaps otherwise, including two 7f wins on turf, and may still have more to offer; likely to stay 1m; acts on AW and can't be dismissed on reappearance.

Two 7f nursery wins at Leicester last autumn; as good as ever when second to a handicap blot at Brighton last month but she couldn't build on it back at Leicester 16 days ago; stamina for 1m still not proven.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 532 last term reflect his steady improvement, solid second at Lingfield the final time (1m, AW; winner was on the first leg of hat-trick); had wind surgery since; respected on handicap debut.

The return to AW and the first-time cheekpieces are possible positives, but he's been disappointing this year and a major turnaround is needed.

Only fifth of six in similar event at Wolverhampton (8.5f) eight weeks ago, taking record to 0-5; however, may improve for subsequent gelding operation and change of headgear (cheekpieces replace blinkers).
