Form & Verdict

J: Elizabeth Gale

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Posted an improved effort at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) eight days ago, making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a five-runner handicap; step back up 1f should be fine and he has solid claims under a 6lb penalty (due to be 1lb higher).

Beaten further than had seemed likely turning in on his Chepstow handicap debut (1m2f, good); drop of 1f and 3lb both to the good, but essentially needs the headgear to help tease out resources longer.

Resonded well to the fitting of blinkers and being allowed a soft lead when making all on his reappearance/first start since being gelded over C&D (good to firm) last month, but ran a shocker at Chepstow (1m2f, good) next time; much depends on which version turns up, but he could enjoy the run of the race again.

Minor form to start career but she was a straightforward winner on handicap debut at Bath (1m2f, firm) and a penalty wasn't nearly enough to stop her on AW (about 1m) last week; now 10lb higher on likely the slowest ground she's raced on but good to soft ground isn't a no-no on pedigree.
