Form & Verdict
Sole win in 6f maiden as 2yo; had a difficult 3yo season but he wasn't far away in well-contested races at 1m and 7f (on good) last spring and is much lower in the weights now; can improve on a respectable reappearance on the AW 11 days ago now back on turf; every chance.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on final 3yo start and he had only one rival to beat for his sole win in a 1m Brighton maiden, but he has C&D form and a second of ten in a Goodwood handicap (1m, soft) in October is quite encouraging form for this level; gelded since last seen; in the mix.

Consistent at 1m last year, on the AW and turf, and after giving best only to a Hannon improver at Newmarket (good) she was found the ideal opportunity when winning at Pontefract (good to soft) in July; fitness unknown on first run since but entitled to be involved on 2023 form.
