Form & Verdict
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton (AW) in January and he went very close there in March but he's been vulnerable on Polytrack in his last two runs; still unexposed on turf but his overall record stands at 1-15 and others are more persuasive; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue.

Form & Verdict
Returned from a break with an improved third in a Chelmsford handicap (6f, AW) in March but he didn't build on that at Kempton last month (first run since gelded); has bit to prove again back on turf and he needs to resume his progress.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 12 starts was in a Brighton maiden (5.3f, good to firm) last June but he's a generally reliable type who went close at Kempton (6f, AW) in his final run during the winter; 2lb higher on his return but he remains feasibly treated and is still unexposed on turf; respected.

Won two of her first three nurseries (6f/7f) last summer but she ended last season on a low note and was tailed off at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) on her return last month; has some questions to answer and she needs a major revival back at this trip; her wins have come on good and soft ground.

Has finished down the field in most of his runs, including at Chelmsford 11 days ago, but he justified strong support when making all in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, soft) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can get back in the groove.

Well held in three novice events at Kempton (7f/6f, Polytrack) this spring but this well-bred gelding now goes handicapping off a lowly mark and he needs watching in market on this switch to turf.
