Form & Verdict
Questionable what he achieved behind the now much-improved Sweet William in a 1m4f novice at Doncaster and especially having since come up well short on his handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good; behind Edge Of Darkness); returns off an untouched mark and there are doubts about him on soft ground (ran moderately on debut); blinkers replace cheekpieces worn the last twice.

Questionable what he actually achieved behind the now much-improved Sweet William (now BHA-rated 103) in a 1m4f novice at Doncaster (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) but clearly of strong interest with nothing of that calibre to contend with on his handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Brother to Oaks winner Talent and was only a length away on his switch to handicaps at Newbury (1m4f, good); this longer trip is highly likely to benefit him and he was suffering from an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on his only previous run on soft.

5 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Two wins last year for Chris Wall (1m2f/1m6f, AW/good to soft) and she's 2-3 for this yard following clearcut back-to-back wins in May, latterly defying a penalty at long odds-on; good record when fresh eases concerns over her absence but she's 13lb higher than last time, so will need to maintain the momentum; goes on soft.

Won over 11.5f on good to soft here three runs back; at least matched that effort when runner-up over 1m6f at Sandown before finishing midfield at Kempton (2m); wasn't beaten far last time and RPR was okay; respected.

Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick.

Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher.

3-34, with latest win last November on Lingfield Polytrack; shot back to some form when beaten a neck off career-low mark in six-runner race on turf at Leicester (1m4f) on latest outing and he's notched up a few placed efforts at this track, so he's one to consider back up 2lb.
