Listed runner-up here last October and he's well treated on that form but he's been a long way below that level on his six outings this season (three of them here); a major turnaround is necessary.

Just one win to her name from her nine starts but that doesn't do her ability justice as she has regularly acquitted herself well in the face of stiff tasks, most recently finishing close up in a Group 3 at York (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; interesting on this belated handicap debut.
