Form & Verdict
Well beaten on sole 2yo start at York (6f, good to firm) last June; however, he was sent off at just 5-1 and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting on his first run since being gelded; good yard also runs the newcomer Orchard Park.

A four-time 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; yet to add to that for his current handler but much better signs after five months off with fourth of 11 in 5f Haydock handicap (heavy) 15 days ago; goes well on soft ground and a likely player.

He has no problem with soft ground but hasn't scored since last May and there were diminishing returns in four starts for this yard earlier in the year; career-low mark, however, and maybe a 147-day break will have chalked his cue; watch the market.

A fair 7f scorer at her best for Seb Spencer; mainly below par this season but better signs on her yard debut with fifth of 11 in 7f Catterick handicap six days ago, staying on late after a very slow start; considered.

Wins have come over an easy, turning 7f and she ran well enough over C&D in the summer to be worth a look among the likely bigger prices for her new yard; she wouldn't want more than the odd shower though.

Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) off 10lb higher last year; has largely struggled since but latest Catterick fourth from well off the pace was a step back in the right direction and has obvious handicapping scope if able to build on that.
