Form & Verdict
Close second of six at Sandown (1m2f, soft; 1lb higher today) last July on handicap debut; not quite so good on either run since, admittedly with seven months off (had wind surgery) in between but she was favourite for AW race last month on latest; after just six races, she could have more to give.

Third on her first two runs this season (1m6f/1m4f, good to soft/good) and a case can be made on that form but down the field on her last three outings and she needs to get back on track now back down in trip.

Form & Verdict
Promise on AW on last two starts, looking better than the bare results; thrown in judged on two AW runs last March/April and he is probably ready for this step back up in trip, with more to prove on today's surface given he tailed off in a soft-ground race last April but that preceded an eight-month absence; cheekpieces (tried once, ran okay) return and he's tongue tied for the first time; not dismissed.
