J: Robert Havlin

T: Kevin Ryan

Very lightly raced 5yo who has been kept to autumn races on soft/heavy ground; something to prove in this new scenario but otherwise an interesting type, having gained her 3yo success at Nottingham (1m) and being still open to further improvement; ran well in Listed contests the last twice and gives the impression she's ready for a crack at this new trip.

Useful form when winner of novices at Newmarket (7f, heavy) and Nottingham (1m, soft) for William Haggas just under a year apart; absent for a further 11 months ahead of this first outing for a new stable; open to further progress but this demands a good chunk of improvement.

Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work.

Has had just three races; won four-runner novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; 22-1, much better form when fourth of ten in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, two and a half lengths behind Scenic but suffering trouble in running and finishing with more to give; another major step forward looks on it way, which could make her a serious player.

50-1 for novice at Beverley (1m2f, good) five weeks ago, carrying his head rather high but shaping nicely from off the pace to be second of seven to today's rival Fox Avatar, who scored in tidy fashion; that was a promising debut and he has each-way claims.

J: Billy Garritty

T: Michael & David Easterby

Justified favouritism on handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) in April but he finished tailed off over 1m4f here next time and was always in rear in that race; still unexposed after only five starts but he needs to bounce back after that major blip.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of promise on debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and he duly scored tidily by 1l from Capla Lazarus when 10-11 in novice at Beverley (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; promising but he carries a penalty and this race may demand a lot better.
