Charging Bull (G)
Shaped well on debut when sixth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 12 months ago, challenging over 1f out before unable to sustain effort. A shade concerning he's not been seen since, but can take a step forward with that behind him.

3/1, left previous efforts behind after 4 months off when second of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 24 days ago, going down only to a fellow improver but well clear of the rest. The one to beat with better still to come.

Thecoffeepoddotco (F)
[P]
Had plenty of attempts to get off the mark but again ran well when fourth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/1), just a little too free to fully see things out. Back on all-weather for her return but likely to prove vulnerable…
