Form & Verdict
Sole win from 22 races was at Nottingham (6f) last August; seven seconds, including in four of his five outings in cheekpieces, might set some alarm bells ringing but he kept on well when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good) on latest outing and he's well capable of being seriously involved.

Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running.

Eight wins, most on AW but he scored three times over 5f on good or good to firm last summer; return to turf at Musselburgh (Class 4; 28-1) 18 days ago wasn't great but he's back to his last winning mark from turf.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row when front-running over 6f last July, including by 4l on good to firm at this track and she's now on the same mark; whether she can keep it up after her layoff (107 days) is a question, though, and she ran over 5f last season only once.

Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution.
