Easily made all on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on April 21st; disappointing favourite under a penalty on April 28th and 29th and she's now 10lb higher than for her win, but a 23-day break may have helped and if rediscovering the Redcar form she'll have a major shout.

Three wins on good ground (5f-6f) last spring, the last of them coming off a 4lb higher mark; ended 2025 quietly and yet to find his best in 2026 but there was some encouragement to be gleaned from his latest Catterick fourth; now eligible for 0-55 company and could bounce back to top form.
