Form & Verdict
Displayed improved form to win in a first-time visor (retained) over C&D (good) on last Tuesday's nursery debut; did well to get up having had to wait for a run and he holds strong claims under a 6lb penalty.

All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on.

Hasn't progressed across her first three starts (6.5f/7f, good/good to firm) but she's with a good yard and perhaps this drop in trip will help on her nursery debut; not ruled out.

Made all to win a Beverley nursery (7.4f, good to firm) last August but she's struggled in her last three runs including when tailed off at Newcastle (7f) on her return last month; record now stands at 1-10 and has plenty to prove at this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Down the field the last twice (5f/6f, good to firm/good) but before those he was a fairly encouraging fourth at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut, and he could be back on slow ground for this first nursery start; no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance.

Two Catterick wins on good to soft ground as a 2yo; now 9lb lower than for the second of them but that is a result of a quiet campaign this year; down in grade after an 80-day break and a revival may be predicted by the market.

One of her better runs when fourth of nine in Nottingham nursery (6f, soft) on Tuesday; however, she's now 0-8 having been beaten just over 4l last time, and could again be vulnerable.
