Form & Verdict
3yo who has found some improvement since handicapping, off the mark with a strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f, good; acts on good to soft) on latest start; up 5lb but that win gave plenty of encouragement for 1m4f.

Fair Flat racer with three middle-distance wins on his CV; yet to show any significant promise after four hurdle starts this year but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and some of that Flat ability may yet transfer to this discipline; watch the betting.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish; 12th race when she made the breakthrough in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) on Monday, produced with a steady run from mid-division to lead over 1f out and finish well on top; that was an apprentice event (ridden by Mohammed Tabti) for which she is unpenalised today; major claims if she's in the same form six days later.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Regular at this track, including for two wins last autumn (1m1f/1m4f) and when scoring by a head from the front under Archie Young 18 days ago (1m3f, heavy); going back up 3lb still leaves him 3lb below reappearance mark; having ground softer than good looks important to his cause.
