Form & Verdict
Two improved efforts since moving into handicaps, finishing third at Doncaster in July and second at Carlisle last month (7f, good and good to soft); helped force a strong pace at Carlisle and she was only picked off late on so that run can be upgraded a touch; promise in one AW start; leading contender.

His two runs for Sam England have been over 1m at this track and on both occasions he has shaped as though dropping to 7f might help; not fully exposed and he's more appealing than some.

1m winner here last October; saw off his 18 rivals at Redcar (1m) in September and stylishly won a nine-runner race there (1m2f) 13 days ago; raised another 7lb today but reinstalling cheekpieces for those last two races received a big response and he's in the form of his life.

A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface.
