Form & Verdict
0-17 but he's a force at this sort of level and ran well for second at Kempton on his penultimate start (6f); ran respectably from a bad draw at Lingfield last time (form working out at a low level) and he shouldn't be too far away back up in trip.

She made a winning handicap debut at Southwell (7f) last August off a 4lb higher mark; didn't progress as may have been expected afterwards but she ran okay after a short break at Thirsk last month and she's not ruled out at this level back on Tapeta and with Billy Loughnane booked.

Close second over 7f in January; far from consistent otherwise this year and he's still seeking a first win beyond 6f; very well treated on best form but isn't a solid option.

Kept on well to win over C&D in October off a 3lb lower mark; two good runs have followed, beaten a short head in a 6f classified event at Newcastle ten weeks ago; return to 7f will suit and he's more appealing than some.
