Form & Verdict

Belatedly regained the winning thread at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) but was able to dictate the pace; chance of following up may depend on whether she gets another easy lead.

Form & Verdict

Low-mileage 7yo who made all and held on narrowly from Velvet Vulcan in conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last time, opening his rules account; raised 4lb but William Maggs, who keeps the ride, can use his 5lb claim this time; open to further progress in any case and looks likely to be as effective back down in distance; respected.

Form & Verdict

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities.
