Form & Verdict
Unable to threaten on his two runs this year (1m2f/1m4f, good) but this lightly raced 4yo was progressive on soft and heavy ground last season and looks set to be back on a slow surface today; could be a contender.

Quite lightly raced 5yo who is well suited by soft/heavy ground; beat Impartiality by 3l at Beverley (1m2f) most recently, adding to his 3yo wins and taking record to 3-12; warrants respect provided conditions are again in his favour.

Both wins were as a 3yo (1m/1m2f; soft/heavy); lightly raced in the meantime and best RPR since being gelded came on his only run on soft ground; has never been lower in the weights and with the ground up his street he's considered.

Came up short in big field at York nine days ago; can't be totally dismissed on September form, namely a win at Redcar and placed effort over C&D; however, strike-rate for current yard is modest compared to how his career started.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off at Newcastle last time on rare AW run and something to prove after that, but she was in fair form previously and won off this mark at Haydock last August; won over C&D in September 2023 on sole previous course visit and is versatile ground-wise; she shouldn't be written off.
