Form & Verdict
0-12 but she has shown winning potential, notably when second of ten over C&D last month; needs to raise her game to win and she has work to do with Boom The Groom judged on her penultimate outing.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have come over this trip on Lingfield's AW, the latest in January off 5lb higher, but he is effective here and ran well for third at Southwell last month; dropped 2lb for that effort and he's a key player in this lower grade.

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative.
