Promise in three 2yo runs and again on his handicap debut at Nottingham two weeks ago, shaping as though the run might bring him on; still has potential and that wouldn't apply to many of these.
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good).
Too good for 21 rivals at Doncaster in March (1m, good to soft) in March; last of 13 at Southwell under a penalty soon after but he didn't see a lot of daylight and he can be given a pass; revival on the cards.
Eight-race maiden but runner-up on three occasions, including both seasonal debuts; ran well when second over C&D last July too and he needs serious respect back from 176 days off.
Two wins last summer, both over 1m at Ripon (good and good to firm); ended that campaign with two lesser efforts; betting useful back from six months off with his trainer running three.
Four of his five wins have come at Beverley, the latest nine days ago (8.5f, good to firm); 4lb higher in a stronger race but as the only last-time-out winner in the field he has to come right into the reckoning.
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start.
Only 1lb higher than for her Beverley win (8.5f, soft) last September; running herself back into form, fifth of ten at Ripon last week having fluffed the start; not out of it.
11-race maiden; ran well at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last October before a lesser effort on the AW at Southwell (1m3f) one month later; one of three runners for Tim Easterby.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
