He is much better than his last run suggests, and he is doing exceptionally well at home. The obvious concern is his awkward draw of nine. However, on the strength of his work at home, he is expected to be very competitive.

She needed her debut run over 1250m and has come on since the outing. She is doing well at home but the stable feel that she will need one more run to tighten up. The daughter of Canford Cliffs will appreciate the step up to 1400m and this run will bring her on.
Winning Form Comment: Had excuses in debut effort over shorter. Can improve.

He was green in his first outing around the left-hand turn over 1400m. The son of Canford Cliffs has come on from the run and will enjoy the step up to the 1600m. If producing his homework, he should show improvement and can finish in the placings.
