Form & Verdict
It wasn't all plain sailing and he was only a neck in front at the line but his handicap/seasonal debut at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) in June duly brought marked improvement to win; brother to a 2m winner, so he should stay, but he was pretty disappointing over 1m6f at Sandown (good) 15 days after that reappearance; big shout if that latest run can be forgiven.

Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options.

Won at Yarmouth (1m6f) in May and solid placed efforts over 2m on her three starts since, the latest at this track; they were on fast ground, which is most unlikely to prevail today, but she was competitive on good to soft and soft earlier in her career; has to be considered.
