Ran his best race when fifth of 13 in a Windsor novice (1m2f, good to firm) last month; the drop back to 1m on his handicap debut may not be in his favour though.
Scored on his second start for Hugo Palmer at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December; ran well to be placed in handicaps at Lingfield AW and Wetherby recently; has since changed hands and sports first-time cheekpieces replacing blinkers on stable debut; should not be far away.
Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut.
Scored on his nursery debut at Leicester (1m, good) last October; gelded subsequently and pulled too hard on his resumption when ninth of 14 at Bath (1m, good) last month; may do better if he settles.
Best run when third of seven on her return to action in a Kempton maiden (7f, AW) in April; beaten 3l at Carlisle (1m, soft) on handicap debut in first-time blinkers (swapped for first-time visor here) last month and she may have more to give.
Yet to get off the mark but has been placed twice in handicaps this year; first-time cheekpieces are applied and he should be suited by this step up in trip.
Placed in a couple of handicaps at Yarmouth on first two starts this season (1m/1m2f, good/good to firm); lost all chance when badly hampered when favourite at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month; compensation may be waiting.
Placed twice in five completions last year, but having been gelded he has run below that form in a couple of handicaps this term; first-time blinkers worn last time are persevered with.
Best form shown was on second start last year when fourth in a Wolverhampton maiden; ran well below that form subsequently and has it all to prove on reappearance/handicap debut.
Best effort was when beaten a neck on her second start in a Southwell novice (7f) last October; shaped a bit better when fifth of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time.
Placed three times in a row before getting off the mark in a ten-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) on Monday, doing it in very smooth style at 8-11; no shock if he follows up under a 6lb penalty.
