Doubled his winning tally at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in September, but the form looks ordinary and more will be needed if he is to follow up from 3lb higher on Polytrack debut.

Her form can be up and down but she won on turf at Lingfield (6f) in July and Ffos Las (6f) in August, and she was a good third at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last time; also effective on Polytrack; can be involved if she reacts positively to the first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Led close home to win C&D claimer last month, his third start for Archie Watson, but probably doesn't have much margin for error off current handicap mark and was soundly beaten on turf a fortnight later; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers today.

Conditions to suit and the switch to a visor has prompted a revival the last twice, third over C&D before a good second at Chelmsford 12 days ago; led last time but she's by no means a one-dimensional front-runner; claims off the same mark.
