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.

Looked laboured and was disappointing at Lingfield last month but has generally held her form well since beginning year with 1m Kempton win; suited by this C&D and current mark is workable if she's back on song.

Kempton win early in the year came from the front over 1m off a 4lb lower mark; hard to make a case for an easy 7f such as this being optimal and she's had plenty of chances at a similar level lately.

Has ran consistently in defeat since getting off the mark at Kempton (1m, AW) in January; still 5lb higher and probably needs to edge down the weights a shade.

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.

Made all to land a three-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in June; collared inside the final furlong when trying to adopt the same tactics in another small field over the same C&D last month and it remains to be seen if she can dictate in this bigger field.

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.

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.
