Justified strong market support on his 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; finished behind the reopposing Liverpool Star at Southwell next time but resumed his progression when landing another 5f Newcastle handicap last month; edged out a next-time-out winner on that occasion so should still be feasibly treated after a 2lb nudge.

On the back of quite promising efforts on her first three starts she was backed into 2-1 favouritism for her Carlisle handicap debut in September but finished last of nine and was subsequently found to have bled; off since; it'll be interesting to see whether her supporters are prepared to give her another chance.

Only fourth in handicaps at Redcar and Carlisle on last two starts and needs something extra today if he's to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, he went close in a C&D seller (good to firm) last month and perhaps the return to Beverley will prompt a bigger performance.
