Form & Verdict

Dual 8.6f winner here in the autumn, latterly under Taryn Langley off a 2lb lower mark; has rather struggled since, however, and is still to convince totally over this longer trip.

Excuses with one thing and another before showing the right attitude to score over C&D ten days ago; the second and third have both run well since and he's one to consider under a 6lb penalty.

Maiden who's still to get involved in a finish, well held at a short price over C&D five days ago; evidently felt capable of better than he's shown and much will depend on how he responds to first-time headgear.

Typically inconsistent on soft turf in the autumn (Brighton winner for Taryn Langley, who's on Mykonos St John today); there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and others appeal more.
