Won twice at two and had deep-ground form; quite an eyecatcher on his comeback in Haydock's Silver Bowl but failed to make an impression in the Britannia and a similar story behind Rhoscolyn at Goodwood (soft); now on a recovery mission.

Two wins in last season's 2yo campaign; reappeared with close third in the Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m) in May, a race that hasn't really worked out; ran okay when 11th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); versatile ground-wise; improvement is possible but necessary in this hot race.

Has handled good to firm and the mud; consistent last season until his heavy defeat in a Group 3; usually races prominently but had to be dropped in from a bad draw in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, so all things considered he did well to finish only a length off Teroomm; enters calculations with a talented claimer secured.

The form of her two wins is far superior to the form of her two defeats; had no trouble defying a penalty at Lingfield (6f, soft; first win on good to firm) and on her day she's clearly useful; doesn't look on too bad a mark.

Hit hard by the handicapper after winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last May; ran well fresh when third at Kempton (1m, Class 4) in October but held in better quality races since, including at Newmarket 18 days ago; moves beyond a mile for the first time.
