Form & Verdict

Recorded his fifth AW win when scoring at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) in December and he's been placed five times since, including back at Chelmsford in last two runs; has two course wins on his CV and he should go well again back on Tapeta.

Form & Verdict

Had four runs in Ireland last autumn and he showed clear promise in two 5f maidens (good/heavy); heavily backed favourite on handicap/stable debut at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; 11-10) last month but he was always behind and finished ninth of ten; now goes back up in trip after that disappointing run and he has some questions to answer.

Had a near miss off this mark over C&D in March but she's hard to predict and was disappointing here last time; both her wins have come at this track but overall record now stands at 2-28 and she comes with risks attached.

Dual C&D winner last season but he finished ninth in his final three runs last term and was last of 12 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his recent return; now back on last winning mark but he needs a major revival back at this track.

Her last win was on Polytrack in Ireland 15 months ago and she's not posed a threat in four starts for her new yard; mark continues to fall but slow starts are becoming a habit and she needs cheekpieces to make a difference.
