Form & Verdict
4yo who has raced only four times and could be suited by this first crack at sprinting, but he was well beaten on handicap debut at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) in August and it's hard to have any confidence in his claims.

Form & Verdict
Fair third at Catterick (6f, soft) early this month and easily beat here four rivals here (5f, soft) last time; prior to that latest performance she had an exposed profile and could be flattered by the bare form, but she's respected nevertheless under a 5lb penalty.

Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes.
