Showed improvement when beaten a head on nursery debut over C&D six days ago and races off the same mark, but not sure how strong the form is (fourth horse finished last at Chelmsford on Saturday); may need to progress again if he is to go one better.

1m win here in November off a 1lb lower mark; mixed record since returning from a 112-day break but not beaten far at Wolverhampton on penultimate start (8.6f; visored first time) and a subsequent Newmarket defeat excusable as he's yet to shine on turf; should be seen to better effect today.

Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive and looked to have the race in the bag when cruising to the front in a Newcastle nursery (7f, Tapeta) a week ago, only to be demoted after hanging away to his left and causing interference to his nearest rival; shouldn't have a problem with the extra furlong on this easier track and strong chance of gaining compensation from the same mark.

In the frame in five of her eight starts, but the cheekpieces in which she came closest to winning at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) three starts back are still missing; not bred for the longer trip on the dam's side and is beginning to look exposed.

Form & Verdict
320,000gns yearling; hasn't really built on early promise and out of the frame in both starts in nurseries, though they were Class 2 events and she was only beaten just over 2l into fifth of ten at York (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) last month (third has won since); in calmer waters for her AW debut and not to be underestimated.

Never far away when finding most to prevail over this far at Redcar (good to firm) and she pulled too hard to give herself any chance at Beverley (good to soft); only 4lb above her winning mark and there's a big run in her if settling better.

Improved on previous efforts when beaten less than a length into second of nine in a Brighton nursery (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago (fourth has won since), but that was a 0-55 and he faces a stiffer task in this better contest form 3lb out of the weights.

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.
