Form & Verdict
From a family the trainer knows well and there was some promise in his three runs over 1m/1m1f as a 2yo; should prove a different proposition now handicapping over middle distances; interesting.

Useful pedigree and although he was down the field in three runs last autumn, he's a likely big improver upped in trip for this handicap debut; gelded since last seen; cheekpieces added; betting instructive.

She improved for the switch to nurseries last October, seeing off one who has won three times since in a 1m2f event at Chelmsford in October; near-miss at Wolverhampton two weeks later (9.5f) and then given a break until reappearing at Southwell 17 days ago; may have needed the run there and she's still of interest on her 2yo form.

Hasn't finished out of the first three in nine starts since handicapping, with three wins including when the cheekpieces went on for last two outings; penultimate start was on soft ground (unraced on heavy), latest was a gutsy performance at this track and it looks as if she will stay beyond 1m4f, so she needs plenty of respect.

0-6 for Charles Hills but wasn't beaten far in 1m nurseries twice in the autumn; sold for 22,000gns in October and gelded; steps up 3f for his stable debut and if he improves for it (mixed messages on pedigree) then he'll be a danger to all.
