Form & Verdict
Both starts at 1m on Polytrack, finishing down the field at Lingfield but he travelled strongly before beating a hotpot a shade cosily at Chelmsford (33-1) 15 days ago; needs to prove he can act on Tapeta but he looks capable of another move forward.

Finished behind a couple of reopposing rivals at Lingfield on his debut two weeks ago; his track position in the straight perhaps wasn't optimal but he still needs a major step forward to win.

Form & Verdict
Definite promise on Yarmouth debut and she relished this surface when beating the below-par favourite over 1m2f here 22 days ago; slight query about the drop to 1m as she wasn't always travelling smoothly there but that could have been down to inexperience; looks an improver.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Conrad Allen

Lightly raced 4yo who ran well when third on the AW here (1m2f) in April; however, following wind surgery she was tailed off at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and it's hard to be hopeful after that.

Confined to the AW since debut run at Yarmouth; 1m2f novice winner and mostly consistent; beaten under 3l at Lingfield last time and that was after three months off; had another break since, and wind surgery; softening ground a grey area.

Record of 1-6 in her first season last year, the win in Newcastle novice event (1m2f); non-stayer over 1m4f on final outing; drop back in trip and booking of Rossa Ryan are positives.

Form & Verdict
Promising C&D debut in February when making late headway but was just held in a tight finish with two others; that form hasn't proved memorable but he should be capable of better if ready for action after a layoff.

Debut second here (1m) in February hasn't worked out and he was disappointing on his return from an absence early this month (well backed each time); will likely find life easier once handicapping.
