Form & Verdict
Close third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on penultimate start and got no run at Bath (5.7f, firm) on Friday; now 0-16, though, and a sharp 5f like this may not be ideal.

Two wins and six runner-up efforts since the end of March; his second here (5.3f) last month was an 8l defeat and although that was behind a very well-handicapped rival, he was well held here yesterday.

Form & Verdict
Sole turf success came in soft ground, but having dropped 8lb below her last winning mark she ran well when beaten less than a length into fourth of nine behind Big Time Maybe over C&D (good to firm) a week ago; 4lb better off with her old rival and shortlisted.

C&D winner who didn't get much luck when a creditable third here last month and she ran into a big improver when fourth of six on her return visit 13 days ago; this is not so tough back in a classified event and she has each-way claims; acts on firm and soft ground.

9lb lower than when gaining his second course success here (5f, good to firm) last summer, but little sign of taking advantage of his reduced mark lately; failed to beat a rival back here (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and switch to blinkers from cheekpieces needs to make a big difference.
