Form & Verdict
Well placed by Tony Carroll to win five of his last seven races and he readily accounted for the favourite over C&D last week when the ground was heavy; that was a career-best RPR so he clearly revelled in the conditions; penalised.

Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered.

Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts.

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again.

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden and last season's form reads better than this, but she might be turning a corner after running well over C&D last time (soft) and she's never been lower in the weights.
