Summary: Improved on recent form back down in trip when landing a Ripon Rowels Handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ripon last time; best at 8-10f, acts on soft and good to firm; consistent sort, revised mark demands more but not dismissed.

Summary: Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick three starts back; too much to do, looked in need of stiffer test when third beaten 3l off 88 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f, may want 7f ideally, acts on good to soft and fast ground; in fair form, has looked worth a go at 1m but trip not certain to suit on breeding, fair claims if stamina holds up.
