Form & Verdict
Off the mark (tenth attempt) when landing a classified event at Chelmsford (1m) last month; held when short-priced favourite in three runs on Tapeta since but those were all placed efforts and latest was over C&D; should be in the mix again with cheekpieces added and he's a key player.

Ex-Irish filly who advanced her form (in a first-time visor) on just her second run for current yard when landing 9.5f classified event here a week ago; she's a big player under a 5lb penalty with this longer trip also a likely plus.
