Form & Verdict
Eyecatching third at Wetherby in April (1m, soft) in a Class 6 handicap that has worked out ridiculously well; only second in two runs since (1m, good to firm and 1m1f, soft), not looking entirely straightforward, but he has more than enough ability to win races off this mark; stamina not assured but the new trip is worth a look; contender.

Won by 4l when upped to 1m4f at Catterick (good to soft) in June but he shot up the weights after that and was only forth of seven in a Class 5 at Chester last time; this drop back in trip should be fine but he needs to kick on again to defy this mark.

First run over 1m4f and on a sharp left-handed track when comfortably coming clear at Catterick (good to soft) latest, which followed two seconds; strong in the market last time and an 8lb rise is hard to moan about.

Sole Flat win was in a Class 6 handicap and she's been well held in two hurdling runs this autumn; caught the eye of the Stewards at Ludlow last time but she pulled hard in that race and needs plenty of improvement here; hood reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Began the year with three heavy defeats but blinkers were added over C&D ten days ago (good to firm) and he ran much better, finishing second of seven behind a well-supported handicap debutant from a Newmarket yard; head carriage was a bit ungainly on that occasion but he'll be in the mix with a repeat.

Began the year with three heavy defeats but has posted a couple of solid placed efforts over 1m4f since wearing blinkers; beaten too far out to blame the trip alone on sole 1m6f attempt; although he doesn't look the most straightforward, he's of interest.

Made the frame in four consecutive nurseries on the AW last autumn, but has shown little in three starts since returning from a gelding operation; may not have coped with the soft ground when beaten miles at Redcar (1m6f) last time, but still hard to warm to; blinkers are given a go.

Detached as the field turned for home but did stay on well for fifth of the ten runners at Carlisle 19 days ago (1m1f, soft); that was his most encouraging run to date and today's extra yardage might help (not guaranteed on breeding).

Got plenty wrong in the first-time blinkers at Hamilton latest (8.5f; slowly away, wouldn't settle), but still being able to stay on into a near-2l second speaks well of him; mixed signals as to the need for further previously, but some encouragement on the dam's side; cheekpieces added.

Down the field in three maiden/novice runs at up to 1m2f but she faces a more realistic assignment now handicapping over middle distances; likely big improver and she's travelling a long way for a modest purse.
