Form & Verdict
Sole win from 26 starts came in a 7f Laytown maiden last September; mixed record this year but he's finished third in big-field handicaps in Ireland in last two starts (1m, good); usually comes from behind and has possibilities if he gets a good pace.

Form & Verdict
Ten-time winner, including three at this track; last success was off this mark at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) last autumn but he's been up and down since and was only sixth of 11 here (1m3f) last time; now drops back in trip but he's well into the veteran stage and others are more solid; cheekpieces reapplied.

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last month and her next start at Hamilton (1m, good) can be forgiven (saw no daylight); had no obvious excuse back at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time, though, and others are more persuasive.
