Form & Verdict
Showed a small amount of ability in his first three starts, but after six months off and having been gelded he improved plenty when making a successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; 6lb rise looks fair, but given how strongly he hit the line there dropping back in trip may pose a question.

Mildly progressive in her first three starts over 5f/6f on turf, but improved when second of 12 on nursery/AW debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in September; open to improvement, but she has a four-month absence to overcome.

Runner-up in both handicaps, the latest on her return from four months off over C&D ten days ago behind an in-form rival; that was a steadily run affair, but she still makes the shortlist off the same mark.
