Out of a useful sprinter; fair form when placed in two Polytrack maidens in early part of this year (1m/1m2f) and will play a leading role if somewhere near that level on today's turf debut.

The hood/tongue-tie combination is surprisingly binned after returning to form when fourth at Market Rasen, and he's 7lb out of the weights.

Showed no significant promise in four soft-ground novice/maiden hurdles last season and was tailed off in good-ground handicap at Bangor (2m3f) three weeks ago, having made a respiratory noise; out of the weights again here and has a lot to prove but may yet transfer some of his fair Flat form to this discipline; hood refitted.

Fair Flat-racer who won over 1m2f on fast ground last summer (RPR 69); showed no significant promise in four soft-ground novice/maiden hurdles in February-April and is 11lb out of the weights for today's handicap hurdle debut but this switch to good ground may enable some of that Flat ability to come to the fore; hood removed; tongue-tie fitted.

Tenth foal; closely related to a dual 1m3f Listed winner in Italy, half-sister to seven winners including 1m2f Listed winner Grey Britain and a smart middle-distance performer in Germany; dam French 6.5f/1m winner; nice pedigree, but it's always a bit worrying to spot headgear on a newcomer.

Rallied for very respectable fourth at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March, her second start for Andrew Balding, but was sold for 5,500gns after poor run over 1m4f the following month; has a point to prove on stable/turf debut.

Well-beaten fourth of five here (1m2f, soft) on last month's handicap debut and has something to prove after that; however, he'd shaped previously as though this step up to 1m4f may suit and the added cheekpieces may be another positive; remains lightly raced and is not written off.

Nicely in command in closing stages of debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in September and not discredited when fifth in race not run to suit at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January; leading contender if suited by this much longer trip on turf debut.

Won a 6f fillies' novice event at Chelmsford on her racecourse debut (trained by Andrew Balding); similar form in handicaps for new yard, over C&D the last twice, and leaves the impression there may still be a bigger effort in her; betting to guide.

Form & Verdict
Began career with two quite encouraging runs at Ffos Las last summer (7.4f/1m2f) but not seen since failing to complete two juvenile hurdles in the autumn; cheekpieces removed after one use; wil probably be of greater interest once qualified for handicaps and with today's run behind him.
