Form & Verdict
Profitable colt; shaped well when second in 5f maidens at Windsor and Ripon on his first two runs but hindered by a slow start when a below-par third in 5f Southwell novice later in the autumn; rates the form pick here and merits serious consideration for his in-form yard.

He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again.

Most consistent since his debut a year ago (22331323); gelded since beaten two necks into third of four at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) a month ago; possesses plenty of early pace and this sharp track may prove ideal.

Never out of the first three in seven starts, making a winning reappearance in a Catterick novice (5f, good) in May and going down by only a neck in a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 1lb but still a major player.

Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted.

Not yet off the mark but she hasn't always had the rub of the green for this yard and her latest run might have been needed; has run well on Wolverhampton Tapeta but this is her first course run so she does have a slight surface query.
