Form & Verdict
Both runs over C&D, finishing second on each occasion; 50-1 for debut when looking as though the run would bring him on and although beaten at odds-on latest, the winner has since defied a penalty; sets the standard and still capable of better.

AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored.

Well beaten in his first two starts but fared much better when third over C&D 46 days ago (150-1); could have more to come but he does need to prove that latest run wasn't a flash in the pan.

C&D debut was more promising than the distance beaten suggests and latest run at Southwell also offered hope of better; that improvement may well come when handicapping over longer trips.

She didn't live up to market expectation in either start last month but both runs offered hope of better; drop in trip and addition of a tongue tie can both help; still has some potential.
