Form & Verdict
Second and first in two starts at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) since switching to the AW in September, but was well held over this C&D in between which does leave him with a bit to prove.

Scored at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and has been consistent since but is 6lb higher than her winning mark so needs more.

Front-runner; made all over 1m here in January and has run to a similar level in four runs since, including when blinkers replaced cheekpieces 25 days ago; creeping up the weights and there are other pace influences to deal with today.

Made all to get off the mark at Kempton (1m, AW) in January; has run with credit employing same tactics three times since without managing to sustain her effort; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces and likely to be the one to catch.

Form & Verdict
Showed improvement when making a successful handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in January; has since left Marco Botti and interesting to see if she can continue her progress for her new yard from 5lb higher.

Switched to turf for last three starts and best of those when winning under Tom Kiely-Marshall over C&D (good to firm) on latest, albeit in a three-runner race; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field.

Still finding her level on turf, but only a neck behind Zooter when fourth in a C&D 0-70 latest (good to firm), the new trip no issue; bit more needed despite slight ease in grade; trainer took this last year.

1m AW win for Marco Botti in January; promising start for new stable in March but backward steps twice since and she was well beaten on her turf debut last month; others are stronger.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark in a nursery over C&D in November and ran well to finish third of six behind Fille Imbassee at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) next time, but latest effort over 9.5f here was a step backwards; needs a resurgence.

Never far away when winning over 8.6f here in November (4lb worse off now with runner-up Phantom Watch); good third of six off this mark at Lingfield four weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 7lb and she should make another bold bid.

Heavy ground was a feasible excuse last time and she had previously finished a close third on good to soft at Leicester (1m); could easily be a factor off this mark.

Beat only one rival in three starts on turf (6f/7f) last summer, albeit facing a couple of impossible tasks; half-brother to the smart AW sprinter Ferrous and worth keeping an eye on now handicapping on this surface.

Pleasing third of five when stepped up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and did the business under those conditions next time, getting the better of the hot favourite; had over 2l to spare at the line and a 5lb rise could have been worse; tough to beat.
