Trained up until now in Britain by James Horton, winning Wolverhampton AW maiden in March and best turf run when second in Windsor Class 4 handicap (6f, good-to-firm) in May; way below that form in cheekpieces in similar Doncaster contest 12 days later; yard debut with cheekpieces left off.

Promising second of nine at Southwell on debut two weeks ago (5f), strong at the finish; today's trip should suit and he's open to plenty of improvement.

J: Hector Crouch

T: James Tate

Won 6f AW maiden at Chelmsford in February; some fair handicap runs since and, as he was picking up nicely late on in a recent Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW, he looks worth a go at 7f; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Two runs on Polytrack this winter (6f and 7f), showing better form on the second occasion when third of eight here (7f); returning to 6f should be fine and he's a leading contender.

Back to winning ways at Southwell last October, his second run for this yard, when coming from off the pace to win a 6f Class 6 in good style; runner-up at Wolverhampton two days later but two runs since haven't been quite so good; others appeal more.

Returned to form on his second start for this stable to beat ten rivals to win at Southwell (6f, AW) a week go and backed that up two days later with another good run under a penalty at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) to finish second of 11; drop to 5f is a bit of a concern.

Won a 6f maiden at Kempton in February for Phil McEntee; struggled in handicaps initially, including on stable debut 16 days ago, but he was back in form with a game come-from-behind win at Southwell on Thursday; the front two were clear there and he's one to take seriously despite his penalty.

Capable at the right level, narrowly winning a C&D handicap in August (from dead-heater Top Biller) and ran his best race since when a clearcut winner of a 6f classified at Chelmsford in January when first-time visored; didn't get going soon enough back here since but can't rule out.

OR:

Form & Verdict
She made a low-key debut at Newcastle in December (5f) but there was much more promise in her Southwell second (6f) four weeks ago, still looking inexperienced but keeping on well close home; bred to do better still and she's a leading contender now tried in a hood.

Serial hard-puller who made a pleasing turf/handicap debut last time despite another untidy start; should have more to offer when tightening things up and a 2lb rise looks fair, so she's one to consider.
