Form & Verdict
Cashed in on a reduced mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in June and he got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (1m, AW) ten days ago; that was a clearcut win last time and this resurgent 4yo is a major player again under a penalty (due to be 1lb higher in future).

Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to 1m Group 3 winner Gold Town and he's shown promise at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Yarmouth (7f, good) in the last two of his three qualifying runs; should have more to offer for leading yard and he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Three turf wins include a 20-1 7f success when tongue tied here (good) last July; posted a cracking return from a break when 33-1 and second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went pear-shaped at Chester last Friday; has won at 1m before but last year's efforts over this trip weren't overly convincing.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.
