Form & Verdict

Made all at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a fortnight ago; has run well here before but needs a career best today; cheekpieces removed after one use.

J: Harry Vigors

T: Henry Candy

Leicester regular (course form 52121); chinned on penultimate start, but made all over C&D (beating Pisanello) subsequently; a 3lb rise is effectively negated by the claim of Harry Vigors; obvious chance in added cheekpieces if handling these easier ground conditions.

Resurgent veteran who won twice at Redcar (including over C&D) in July before completing a hat-trick at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last month; his winning streak came to an end at Leicester but that was a creditable effort behind an improver and he remains well treated on his old form; key player.

9st 6lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Tom Ward

She has developed a particularly rocky profile but would hold good claims on any of her first three starts in maidens and a novice last term; three poor efforts in handicaps followed but her penultimate run when third (9.5f, AW; possibly flattered) in first-time cheekpieces was a bright spot; tailed off over C&D last time, however, and the visor is now given a whirl.

Seven-race maiden; returned to form when third of eight in a Wolverhampton handicap in February (9.4f; cheekpieces first time); still has time to deliver on her early promise and neither track nor ground should be an issue; shortlisted.

Sole win from 12 starts came in a 1m Lingfield maiden last August when trained by the Crisfords; has dropped a fair way in the weights since joining this yard and he ran well when third over this C&D 18 days ago on first try over this far; can go well again with cheekpieces now added.

Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend.
