Form & Verdict
Well held when down the field in her three qualifying runs (7f/6f) but it's still early days for this well-bred filly and it wouldn't be a surprise if she showed a lot more on this handicap debut; needs close look after a short break.

Well-bred filly who led close home to win by a nose on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) eight days ago; could easily have a lot more to offer over today's longer trip and needs to be taken very seriously.

Form & Verdict
Well held in his first two runs last month and he got closer to the target when a front-running fourth in 1m maiden here three weeks ago; that was a promising effort and he's an interesting contender now dropped in trip on handicap debut.

Probably hasn't enjoyed heavy/good to soft ground on turf the last twice but his record on Polytrack (4212) is a bit better than on Tapeta (484) and he remains 4lb higher than for his Kempton win (6f) in August.

Kempton winner (6f; from 5lb lower) in August; moderately progressive form came to an abrupt end on heavy ground at Salisbury (6f; favourite) latest, and it is a legitimate concern that his three best efforts have been on AW; cheekpieces added to regular tongue-tie.
