Form & Verdict
Placed in 5-8 starts, going very close at Hamilton (8.5f, good) latest, his first start after being gelded; that was an encouraging career-best effort and, given he is related to some stamina-laden winners, it would be no surprise if he can now kick on going up in trip.

One of three for trainer; won twice on the Flat for Charlie Johnston on good ground; rated 83 in that sphere; signed off British career with a tailed off finish at Hamilton in September; makes hurdling/stable debut now in a first-time tongue tie.

Acts on good to soft but both wins (at 1m3f and about 1m) on good; ran up to his best when a close second of seven at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in August but needs to pull out more against in-form rivals.

Form & Verdict
Broke her duck when 14-1 here (1m1f, soft) on her penultimate start; proved that was no fluke when improving on it after a 5lb rise, finishing second at Hamilton (8.5f, good) latest; another 4lb rise will demand more but she is respected up in trip.

Runner-up three consecutive times in recent weeks, perhaps most notably when losing out only by a head in higher-grade company at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) two starts ago; also suited by this C&D; likely contender.

Broke his duck on his reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) in March, when 8lb lower; not far off that level when second at Pontefract (1m2f, heavy) next time but below that level in four starts since; more needed.

A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things.
