Form & Verdict
Appreciated the return to soft ground when winning at Pontefract in July and his close second of 21 at York in October (both 6f on soft) was even better, doing very well to get as close as he did considering he took an age to warm up; has potential for better yet but will need a good gallop to be seen to best effect.

She has made giant strides since making her handicap debut off a mark of 69 at Haydock last July, winning five times, most recently in Listed race at Haydock in May (5f, good); only ninth at Royal Ascot but she raced furthest from the main action and still looked in peak form; drying ground wouldn't be ideal, though, and she has the widest stall to overcome.
