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.

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.

OR:

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.

Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time.

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.
