Form & Verdict
Shaped with promise when fourth at York (7f, good) and Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer; failed to build on those efforts on his handicap debut at the latter track in September and has been off since; this longer trip isn't guaranteed to suit on his AW debut but holds solid form claims.

Neck ahead of Fille Imbassee on identical terms when third over C&D last month (good to firm); appeal undiminished by Ffos Las blowout since, when not taking to soft ground; 2lb badly in.

Said to have taken a false step and briefly lost her action last time; she again started a big price, though, and first-time headgear will need to help for a trainer who looks to have stronger claims with Moonlit Cloud.

Has become a little more competitive since entering handicaps but still moderate form; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers; basement mark and will need some improvement to get involved.

Probably bred for further than this but, from a leading role over 1f out, he weakened into sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago; 16-1 that day and cheekpieces are now called on.

Sea The Moon gelding; always behind on his four starts to date, coming in a well-held sixth of eight in 9.5f maiden here on his return 18 days ago; much more is expected now he goes handicapping stepped up in trip; interesting.
