Progressive on AW, winning twice (9.5f/1m2f); has failed to transfer that form back to turf (1m2f) in last two outings but gives the impression this return to 1m is worth exploring; difficult to write off.

Major improver in 1m2f AW handicaps, quickening up smartly at Lingfield in March (hood discarded, now refitted; Andaleep back in third); said to have been unsuited by Chester's tight turns when way back there in May; needs to show he's as good on turf as AW but remains of interest.

Big improver in AW handicaps this year, running out a decisive winner of a 14-runner race over 1m2f at Lingfield on Good Friday; a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him if proving as effective on turf (9l second in a maiden on previous attempt).

All four starts on AW and she's improved with each of them, winning at Newcastle (1m2f) on New Year's Day in her second handicap; this is her first run since and the tongue-tie is left off, but she's excellent hands to continue to progress and could play a leading role on turf debut.

Picked up for 30,000gns having been turned over at odds-on in a C&D novice for the Gosden yard last autumn; offered promise in a first-time tongue-tie last Friday (easy 7f, Polytrack) and that gave something to build on.

Kingman gelding; dam, 6f/7f winner (Group 3; RPR 105), is a half-sister to winners Lesson In Humility (5f/6f Group 3) and Boastful (useful 5f-1m) out of maiden half-sister to Ffestiniog (dam of three Group 3 winners); appeals on paper so this newcomer is worth a market check.
