Form & Verdict
3-8 on AW, the wins coming when she rattled off a nursery hat-trick at Wolverhampton (8.5f/9.5f) on Tapeta around this time two years ago; mostly kept to turf since and she looked to be finding her level again, following wind surgery, when second of nine in a Redcar amateur riders' race (1m, good) in July; didn't build on that when beaten 15l next time, though, and others are more persuasive.

Four-time AW winner, twice here (7f/1m); struggled off his revised rating since winning at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in April but there were signs he might be on the way back, despite finishing ninth, when not getting the breaks over C&D three weeks ago; far from dismissed even though the handicapper hasn't budged.
