Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind.

12/1

For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade.

Built on the promise of last month's Epsom (8.5f, good) fourth when making a winning handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) eight days ago; this longer trip should be fine (dam won over 1m7f) and he's the one to beat under a 5lb penalty.

Overcame evident inexperience to make a winning debut in a 1m2f maiden at Beverley (good ground) 18 days ago, a run that can be marked up given he came from a long way back in a steadily-run race; 7lb worse off with the runner-up Cape Fear today but he is open to further progress.

Similar form in four 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Salisbury in October (7f, good); never in contention in a Newmarket handicap on his reappearance (1m, good); cheekpieces now reached for.

AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Improved for a step up in trip and switch to nurseries last summer, rounding off his 2yo campaign with wins at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (9.4f); has more to do in this higher grade off a 7lb higher mark but he isn't fully exposed; returns with his trainer in fine form.

Made a mockery of his opening mark, winning three Southwell handicaps in a week at the start of the year (6f/7f); only fourth at Newcastle in his bid for a four-timer but that was a useful contest and his effort was right up there with his best; should stay 1m (half-sister a Group 1 winner at the trip) and his best days could still be ahead of him.

Ran away with a Redcar handicap on his seasonal return last month (1m, good to firm); defied a penalty at Lingfield (1m; 2-9f) and a double penalty at Kempton (7f; 2-7f) soon after; now 9lb higher against stronger opposition and his mettle will be more fully tested.

Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test.

Ran quite well in a good Ascot novice on her return to action ten days ago; more realistic assignment now handicapping and she is one to consider in an open race.

Two 1m4f wins on AW in France; winless in Britain and although she's had a couple of close calls on sand at about this trip, she was taken out of a race on good to firm last spring so this surface may not be ideal.

SR 69 suggests ability but 4/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Lightly raced since 2yo debut but she improved for the step up to 1m4f and the fitting of a hood when winning on Kempton AW last month and she had more to do off 4lb higher when second to an odds-on shot at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good) 13 days ago; probably needs more for the win.

Seven-time winner, including over C&D, but never landed a blow (behind Mrembo) returned to this scenario last time; still has never defied a mark as high as current one, on turf.

Kept on nicely into fourth of ten on Yarmouth debut (1m, good to soft) last October but failed to repeat it on the switch to AW on final 2yo start; highly tried on her Newbury return and this handicap debut looks more her level with her pedigree suggesting the new trip will suit.

Won 1m Newcastle AW novice as 2yo; has played a part in handicaps since but her return at Leicester, when upped to 1m4f (cheekpieces replaced blinkers, return today), leaves her well short of what will be needed here.

Beaten 14l+ in three starts at about 1m and 1m2f late last year (hooded each time but not today); bred to appreciate the extra stamina test now handicapping but hard to know how much she'll need the run.

AI verdict

SR 55 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Unraced on soft/heavy; appeared to have something in hand at Windsor (11.5f) last week on seasonal debut, taking turf record to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-7; back up two grades but looks well treated under a penalty (future mark 1lb higher) and won over C&D last August; may improve further to boot; respected.

Runner-up in her first two AW handicaps at about 1m and 1m1f; lesser effort since but there's plenty of stamina in her pedigree and it's possible this new trip might be a big positive on her turf debut.
