Form & Verdict
Signs of ability in two runs for Dermot Weld last summer (7f, yielding/1m, AW); gelded and sold for 20,000euros in November; finished sixth of 14 on stable debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month but he made some late headway and that was promising after 252 days off; should benefit from that run and he looks interesting back up in trip on handicap debut.

Easy winner off a 9lb lower mark on handicap debut at Ripon in May (1m, good); creditable third at Doncaster next time (1m, good to soft) but connections blamed the faster ground when well below his best last time at Pontefract (1m, good); today's sharp 7f on fast ground unlikely to suit.

Ex-Dermot Weld; 8-11 for his handicap debut in seven-runner race at Ripon (1m, good) last month and won easily from the front; 8lb higher when respectable third of 14 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) eight days later, having chased the leaders, and needs to resume improvement with another 2lb rise today; he's had just five races, so it may be possible.

Needed the experience in two runs for Dermot Weld last summer before changing hands for 20,000euros; started odds-on for his handicap debut eight days ago, when winning easily from the front, and holds obvious claims despite an 8lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Finished well when scoring at 16-1 on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in December; never-dangerous fourth behind an emphatic winner at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month but that was a creditable effort after a break and she still has potential; shortlisted.

Nine-race maiden who has been underwhelming in handicaps; however, her best RPR came when third in a 7.4f novice last September on her sole previous visit to Beverley, and it's possible going beyond 1m for the first time might suit this Time Test filly; not ruled out.
