Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance.

Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player.

Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf.

Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark.

Just one win from her 17 starts but that came on New Year's Day at Newcastle (6f) and she's largely continued in form there since, placing over 7f on her last three visits; raced only on AW for this yard but her peak RPR was achieved on turf in Ireland.
