Form & Verdict
Off the mark on his nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in August, narrowly holding off Roysdelight; overdid things early at Bath the following month, after which he was gelded; could help tee this up for a closer now switched to AW.

Created positive impression on nursery debut at Chelmsford and she ran well for second off this mark at Lingfield ten days ago; the sharp test there didn't seem to play to her strengths as she was doing all her best work late on; 6lb better off with Solar Edge and she could reverse the placings at this more conventional track.

Ran his best race thus far when second of seven in a Wolverhampton nursery ten days ago (5f; visored first time), coming from off the pace and giving the well-supported winner a scare; this is a stronger race but he's now got something to build on.

Best effort in eight starts for Robert Cowell when beaten a short head at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month, but held at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 16 days ago having again given away ground at the start; tongue-tie given a go on stable debut and a better break would be a big help.
