Form & Verdict

Six races but it's already a pretty mixed record; highlights were soft-ground maiden win as 2yo, fourth in the Lingfield Derby Trial (1m4f, AW) and fair third of seven in Newbury handicap (1m5f, heavy) in September; ran poorly in cheekpieces on latest start and a tongue-tie now returns instead; confidence in him has been dented.

Form & Verdict

Lost his form this spring/summer but also fell a long way in the weights and he took advantage in last-gasp fashion in a five-runner C&D race (good to firm) five weeks ago; back up just 1lb and, having registered excellent placings last autumn in his only two runs on heavy going, he has returned to serious calculations.

Easily off the mark when 2-11 in a novice at Chepstow (7f) in August; solid this year, including places on soft and heavy going in the spring, and her never-nearer second in 1m handicap at Pontefract (good to soft) on latest start was her best form; that strong finish gives hope for 1m2f.

Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement.

Thrown in if judged on his performances in two major 1m4f handicaps on soft in summer 2020 but he did not fire last season, mostly also on soft (unraced on heavy) and that includes when blinkers were given a go in this race; not seen since, so a great deal has to be taken on trust, but he had an excellent record earlier in career after lengthy breaks.
