Form & Verdict
Struggled in bumpers/maiden and novice races on his first five starts but the switch to middle-distance handicaps sparked a good jolt of improvement three weeks ago, finding only the red-hot favourite too strong over 1m4f here; 2m should be within range and he has a top amateur booked; obvious chance of going one better.

Lightly raced 7yo who has form figures of 213 since switched to handicaps in April, the win gained by over 5l at Musselburgh (2m, good); seems to enjoy making the running, and may still have more improvement to come.

Improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in April and easily made all back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago; he enjoyed the run of the race last time but a 6lb rise isn't harsh in view of this unexposed 7yo's dominance; has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly; took a while to get the hang of things but she took a good step forward when upped to 1m6f and fitted with a hood at Southwell three weeks ago, running out the 7l winner of a 0-55 event; up 10lb and has another 2f to travel today but surprising if she has reached her ceiling yet.

Shaped well when keeping on from well off the pace in a 1m handicap at Kempton last month; ridden more positively upped to 1m2f at Chelmsford 15 days ago and a reluctance to settle contributed to her weak finishing effort; dropped 3lb and still not fully exposed.

Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on.

The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.

0-15 but he had a near-miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month before a close fourth over C&D when not a lot went right; looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse on slow ground at Hamilton last time; not ruled out back on AW.
