Form & Verdict
1-5 as a 2yo, the win gained in fast-ground Bath maiden (5.7f); raced a bit too freely but shaped pretty well before fading into fifth on last month's seasonal debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm); big player if that recent outing brought him on.

Regressive 9yo who left Adrian Nicholls after a below-par run last month; now only 1lb higher than when close second of 17 on seasonal debut at Doncaster (5f, good), though, and might have been perked up by his new regime.

Still a maiden after 14 run but scores very high marks for consistency, having made the frame in all ten handicaps (including a close third over C&D); fitted with first-time tongue-tie today; likely to be right in the thick of things again.

She has made steady progress throughout her career, winning three times on AW, and she was unlucky not to register a first turf success when a close third over C&D last week; saw no daylight at a crucial stage on that occasion and the form has already been franked; good chance.

Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f).
