Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Similar level of modest form in three novice runs on turf as a 2yo (6f-7f); gelded prior to this reappearance/handicap debut and he's bred to be better than a Class 6 handicapper; betting useful.

Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well.

Latest effort excusable (caught wide over 7f, a trip she's not proven at) but she isn't progressing and needs a career best if she is to shed her maiden status on her first run for a new stable; the hood returns tonight.

Not beaten far in a Leicester fillies' novice on debut last October (6f, heavy); not matched it twice since but ran a sound race over C&D 11 days ago (first run after a wind operation); potential improver now handicapping but such progress would appear to be essential.
