Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected.

Form & Verdict
Made it 3-4 on AW when scoring at Lingfield in October but she was vulnerable at Chelmsford (fourth of nine) in final run last year; still has scope for further progress in this sphere but all of her wins have been in Class 5 events and she needs to find more after 144 days off.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.
