Form & Verdict
Two Polytrack efforts, latterly when a clear second to a progressive winner at Lingfield last Tuesday, have both been better than his five turf runs; that's the main niggle, as he's 2lb well-in and clearly shortlist material otherwise.

Longstanding maiden for two yards, often missing the break; pulled hard and flattened out late behind two of these over C&D last time and there's the danger he'll do so again, going without the hood this time.

Has a modest 1-16 strike-rate and she hasn't been at her best on AW on her two runs this year; however, she's now 4lb lower than when a commanding winner over C&D (good to firm) last August and she'll be a major player if rediscovering some form.
