Form & Verdict

Has largely consistent form, including Ripon success (1m4f, good to soft), since wearing a visor; placed in his last three races and holds solid claims in the retained headgear; should go well again.

Visor has helped, bar one blip at Yarrmouth, and won a weak handicap easily off 7lb lower over C&D 17 days ago; backed that up off his revised mark last Tuesday, despite pulling hard, but could maybe have done without the recent dry spell.

Mixed signals as to whether he truly stays 1m6f at Redcar the last twice, and this 2f shorter trip might be closer to what's required for now; mark looking ever more exploitable following a further 2lb ease.

Form & Verdict
Favourite and shaped encouragingly, albeit in claiming grade, when second of ten at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in June on sole run for Ger Lyons; well beaten last month in maidens at Catterick (1m4f) and Pontefract (1m, again good to soft) but the latter was not devoid of promise and he needs a market check on this handicap debut.

Form can be mixed at 1m4f but she was close up at Lingfield last month and ran well enough in sole 1m6f start, at Wetherby in April, to make her worth another go at this trip; no surprise if she's involved.

Form & Verdict
Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and/or hanging, and she also refused to race on the AW last month; last week's front-running second of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f) was up with her best form, though, and she was a never-nearer third over 1m4f the time before; more to prove on soft ground.
