Form & Verdict

Thoroughly exposed maiden but he's plummeted down the weights and endured a torrid run in the straight at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; couldn't land a blow in a Class 5 back at Wolverhampton on Saturday; dangerous dropped into Class 6 company in a race that could be run to suit.

Improving filly, winning over C&D and at Wolverhampton this summer before another step forward when second at Southwell nine days ago; that effort can be upgraded with the first two pulling clear and her doing much the best of the prominent racers; 5lb rise asks a tougher question of her but she's more interesting than many.

Prominent racer who has done well on AW for this yard and comes here chasing a hat-trick after wins at Kempton and Wolverhampton; did well to hang on at Wolverhampton having set a strong pace from a wide stall; still has mileage in her mark but there is other pace to deal with here.

Evidence pointing to her being a better filly on AW and her Kempton win four weeks ago (6f) was an impressive display of front-running; still feasibly weighted but those tactics won't be easy to execute from a wide stall.

Notably strong in the market when making all to beat Habooba over C&D last month, making all and well on top when eased in the closing stages; that effort backed up by the clock and he's well drawn to attack again; 5lb rise not excessive and he's a leading contender.

Form & Verdict

Has endured a miserable season by his own high standards, but that is reflected in his handicap mark and he gave a strong hint his turn was near when fourth at Wolverhampton 19 days ago (6f), showing bright speed and only run out of second late on; went off hard enough there and he's one to be interested in dropping into Class 6 company for the first time

Had a purple patch on AW over the winter, winning five times in six starts between November and January (four of them over C&D); out of sorts on firm ground in Jersey this summer and looked in need of the run when last of ten here 19 days ago; 5lb drop helpful and he's the type to come good again soon; stable quiet though.

Four wins for Eve Johnson Houghton, including 6f on Polytrack, and he's back to the same mark off which he was successful at Brighton in May; mixed record since and sold for 7,000gns last month; starts out for new yard in a competitive race; others appeal more.
