Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice since handicapping, notably when beaten a short-head at Beverley (7.5f, good) last week; the first two home were well clear on that occasion (Seed Investor a never-dangerous fourth) and she's due to be 2lb higher from the weekend; commands plenty of respect.

Form & Verdict
Probably best to ignore his third 2yo run (eased after rider felt him take a false step) and he's shown promise in his three other starts; gelded after finishing fourth on last month's handicap debut; new blinkers replace cheekpieces.
