Form & Verdict
Impressive winner over 7f on Southwell AW reappearance; made favourite for a good 7f Newbury handicap since, when 6lb well in under a penalty, but failed to get into the action soon enough, finishing second to a more prominently ridden winner (May Angel just behind); still has potential despite running off his new mark and this stiff 7f can suit.

Lightly raced at two and a sharp improver this season, initially in 7f handicaps and latterly holding his own in a 1m Listed race at the July meeting (good to firm), beating all bar subsequent Group 3 winner Shayem; this is tougher again and what he'll make of slower ground is open for debate, but unlikely they've reached the ceiling with him.

Form & Verdict
Came on plenty for each 2yo run, making all in a 7f maiden on Wolverhampton AW in November; plenty to like about her reappearance in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good) recently, where she initially failed to pick up but came home nicely to finish a close third of 13; should come on for the run and go well back over 7f; yard has won three of the last seven runnings.

Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so.
