Form & Verdict

He has improved for the switch to nurseries in recent months, missing out by a nose over 7f here in September and again runner-up over that trip here last week (winner got first run); hasn't looked entirely straightforward but handicapped to go well if his stamina holds out.

Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he has a largely solid record since handicapping and opened his account at Chelmsford (1m2f) most recently; may build on that win; respectable claims upped in grade.

Consistent 2yo who is the only winner in the field courtesy of a 1m win at Bath in September; style of racing can leave him a hostage to fortune but he still has more to recommend him than most.

Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again.

Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering.

Form & Verdict

Sent off a warm favourite for her nursery debut at Newcastle in September (1m2f) and ran creditably for third of the five runners; form of that slowly run event not working out but she still has time to do better granted a more thorough test.

Showed some improvement on her most recent start, when trying to make all and finishing over 3l fifth at Bath (1m, good to soft); initial mark a bit stiff based on that but there could be improvement to come over this new trip; interesting.

Unable to land a telling blow in a 1m nursery here on Tuesday but she wasn't beaten far at the finish and she looks worth another crack at this trip; not out of it in such an ordinary event.

Just modest form in three novice/maiden runs at up to 1m; could take a step forward upped in trip and he's one to keep an eye on in the betting on this nursery debut.
