Form & Verdict

Placed in two of six starts, best effort at Fontwell in April (2m5f, good) on his penultimate start; could come on for his recent Chepstow return but he still has to prove conclusively that he acts on soft ground.

Form & Verdict

Both wins have been on good at Hereford and when fresh; stays 2m7f; has been placed on soft but was not at her best on it when last seen at Ludlow (2m4f) in February; returns from a break and no surprise if she is competitive.
