Scored at Lingfield (11.5f, good to soft) on her handicap debut in June and well backed when a fair fifth of 14 over this sort of trip at Newmarket (good) in October; would likely appreciate any rain and she's back on her winning mark for this reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Son of Soldier Hollow is much improved since sent handicapping, scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f) before just edged out in a tactical contest at Catterick (1m4f) two weeks ago; he has more to offer and rates a big player.

Improved as he's gone up in trip; should cope if this gets tactical given he won two six-runner C&D contests in August; his run in the Mallard at Doncaster last time didn't necessarily signal that the handicapper now has his measure.

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Improver on turf in May/June, badly hampered on his latest turf start (probably acts on soft); has hit substantially greater heights over 2m on AW since, making up plenty of ground when a close second on Newcastle AW last time; that run makes him look one of the best handicapped in this race and this 3yo could still have more improvement in him.

Ran away with a Class 6 handicap at Southwell last October (1m6f) off a 10lb lower mark; two runner-up finishes at Southwell last month (after a 166-day absence) and he seemed fully effective on turf last year; one to take seriously.

J: Luke Morris

Still seeking his first win after 13 attempts but he has finished second on three occasions, including at Wolverhampton on his seasonal return three weeks ago (1m4f; hooded first time); that was a costly reverse for those that backed him into 11-10f but he didn't do a great deal wrong and the subsequent wins of the first and third give the form some ballast; major player with the hood now discarded.
