Form & Verdict
Came away with Mystical Land and Mademoiselle Belle when justifying good support on his C&D comeback in January; below that level off his revised 4lb higher mark at Southwell last time and needs more to confirm earlier superiority.

Two C&D handicap wins this year, latter off 1lb lower than today; found it tougher on turf since but could bounce back returned to AW having been gelded.

Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing.

Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW).

Form & Verdict
Still to finish placed and he was turned over at short prices on his last three starts, again pulling too hard and not seeing it out a month ago on his first start since being gelded; evidently felt capable off this mark; cheekpieces replace a visor and a tongue-tie goes on.

String of solid efforts in the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination prior to a poor one last time; that came on turf, though, and he'll be happier back on the AW and over an easy 6f, plus he's well drawn for one happiest up front for a yard in fine form of late.

Picked up for 4,200gns in the spring from Dylan Cunha, for whom she proved consistent on the AW; has gone both ways under pressure before and rarely seen out her races, so has questions to answer on just her second turf start.

0-9, his best run when second to an unexposed rival over 5f at Newcastle AW in January; beaten 26l on his return to turf at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago and has slipped to a career-low mark; doesn't look ready to capitalize.

Had plenty of racing now; things panned out perfectly in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last month (favourite Mystical Land had excuses back in fifth) and a 4lb rise demands more.
