Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; ran well on the second of two outings for current stable when third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; this looks easier and he should go close, at the least.

Won twice on AW within five days in March and carried on his progression back on turf when second of 12 at Nottingham (also about 1m, good) in April; might have found 1m2f a slight stretch when third on his final start for George Scott and subsequently secured for 20,000gns; he's back at 1m but up in grade for this stable debut.

Uninspiring turf form last year at up to 1m; could still have potential now handicapping and the betting is worth a look.

Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and again edging left under pressure over C&D last time; that effort proved this trip within range, though, and he's clearly happier on Tapeta than turf.

Saddle slipped three starts ago but she made amends with a short-head win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in March; not discredited in fifth of eight here (1m, good) 19 days ago but she raced too freely and didn't shape as well as third-placed Sports Day.

Saddle slipped two starts ago but she had made an encouraging handicap debut for new yard previously and improved on it when just holding the runner-up at Wolverhampton (also about 1m) in March; up 2lb but still time for her to do better if as effective back on turf.
