Form & Verdict
It looked as if his turn may be near when third on his final three starts of 2024 (twice over C&D); beat only one home when last seen 166 days ago but he was hampered inside the final furlong; usually held up so needs things to drop right.

Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 4-1 or shorter on eight occasions, including in three runs this season; pulled hard and hit traffic back from a break latest and is down to 0-55 company for the first time, so will be popular on his Polytrack debut.

Modest in his first five starts but the application of cheekpieces seems to have helped, winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) before following up at Kempton (1m, AW) 24 days ago; up 6lb and has to be respected in his bid for the hat-trick.

Modest form in her six starts but her latest Wolverhampton run (8.6f) was quite eyecatching, poorly positioned turning in but keeping on quite steadily (ran the fastest final 3f in the race); that effort offered hope of better and she's not discounted in another modest event; unexposed on Tapeta.
