J: Sean Levey

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW) then kept on for third of 18 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) that worked out nicely; well beaten in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good) on final 2yo start, which was followed by wind and gelding operations this March; also now has a first-time tongue-tie; needs to resume improvement in a major way.

9st 2lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Won in good style on first two starts (6f, AW) and confirmed that promise when third of 18 on nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) last month; needs a bigger performance if he's to take this, however.

Form & Verdict
Well held behind a useful filly at Haydock last month; stiff task at Epsom last time and ran as well as could be expected; this should be more manageable but she'll still need a personal best switched to AW.

Won AW handicaps at Southwell in February (5f) and Newcastle in March (6f); beaten 1.5l off this mark when third in a 5f Southwell handicap last time (Artista fourth) and could go well if as effective on turf.

Improved for the drop to 5f when 1.5l too strong for Call Margot over C&D in February; defied a 7lb rise when narrowly winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago, form that was given a handsome boost when the runner-up won at Lingfield on Good Friday; another 4lb higher today but there could well be more in the tank and her attitude will continue to stand her in good stead.

Some ability in one start for Andrew Balding, but little to shout about in five outings for this yard; hard to recommend despite another drop in grade.

Habitual slow starter for whom it is yet to click since joining Ruth Carr; soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 28-1) just under a month ago; now 4lb lower - a career-low mark - seeking something positive; focus elsewhere.

Hinted at promise when a debut Wolverhampton third (for Andrew Balding) last June but he's failed to build on it for his current yard, hooded when only eighth on his handicap debut at Pontefract (6f) 18 days ago; more is required.
