4 yo Colt

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Has modest 1-21 strike-rate but was unlucky not to finish closer to the target in first-time cheekpieces here (6f; denied clear run) last month; goes without headgear today but will be suited by the move back up in trip and continues to lurk on a dangerous mark.

Both wins have been on AW; raced too freely on return to action when sixth of seven over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago and needs to settle better to give himself a chance.

Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen but he's a dual AW winner who is well handicapped on his second at Doncaster (1m, good) last summer; has run well when fresh in the past and he needs watching in market on reappearance; refused to enter stalls in last intended start.

Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll.

Four wins on the AW and 8lb lower than for the latest; promising return when beaten under a length into third of six at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January, but hasn't built on it; switch to blinkers needs to have a positive effect.

Has some quirks but is 2-6 for new stable since the autumn, the latter win gained over C&D in today's headgear combination three weeks ago; drops back in trip after decent 1m third here a week later; likely to be on the premises again.

Won three of her first nine starts for Mick Appleby; a particularly slow start cost her dear when fourth to Maids Head at Chelmsford last time (sent off favourite, perhaps as she was unpenalised for winning an apprentice contest); 2lb higher here.

Low-mileage 4yo; blew start on handicap debut and again slowly away before keeping on well to be placed on next two 6f starts; comes with obvious risks but this return to 7f ought to suit and he can be very dangerous off his current mark if he gets away from the stalls reasonably well.
