W: 9st 9lb

3 yo Colt

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
No solid claims after his three qualifying runs (6f, 1m and 7f) but he's been gelded since latest, there's been a whiff of ability and he now has cheekpieces; starting handicap life on a modest mark, he needs a market check.

1m winner here last October; saw off his 18 rivals at Redcar (1m) in September and stylishly won a nine-runner race there (1m2f) 13 days ago; raised another 7lb today but reinstalling cheekpieces for those last two races received a big response and he's in the form of his life.

Has a patchy profile and he's been well in last two runs (1m2f), but both wins have been at this trip and latest was over C&D (good) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in this mix on this drop back in trip and grade; cheekpieces added.

Modest form but she's faded in her two handicaps (9.4f/1m) and did not beat many of those rivals; 4lb lower than on handicap debut and drops in class.

After initial promise, she ran three poor races in a row before a big change of tactics, with Jamie Spencer enlisted, to come from a detached last to win ten-runner handicap at Newmarket (dropped back to 1m, good; 10-1) 16 days ago; back up 2lb but may have turned a corner.

Four solid efforts for his current yard during a light campaign, following up his 7f Thirsk win off 5lb lower with a second here (6f) five weeks ago; doubt he'd want much rain but the step back up in trip will suit otherwise and his claims are obvious.

Ran well on his stable debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June and built on that when winning at Thirsk (7f; fifth and sixth have won since) 19 days ago; this drop back in trip won't be an issue and he has good claims off a 4lb higher mark.
