Form & Verdict
Came good with an all-the-way maiden success at Thirsk (good to firm) 11 days ago on her second attempt at 1m4f; raised 5lb for that but this half-sister to Gold Cup winner Subjectivist and 1m4f/1m6f Group winner Sir Ron Priestley should have more to offer in handicaps as her stamina is drawn out.

Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show.

Form & Verdict
Has improved since returning in handicaps, winning at Nottingham (1m, good) and better form when runner-up on fast ground at Ascot (1m) and Salisbury (1m2f) since; the cheekpieces he's worn on those occasions are now replaced by a visor; also up in trip; makes obvious appeal as a progressive 3yo tackling largely older and more exposed opponents.

While a Nottingham 1m handicap last April remains his only win, he's run well over about 1m2f in three of four starts for his current yard; that gives him each-way claims and the return of headgear (tried by his previous stable and he ran well, including for the win) could be a help.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in April but a 4lb rise proved more than enough to find him out in a deeper race at Lingfield on Good Friday; stopped quickly when a distant last of four at Wolverhampton since and the refitted cheekpieces he wore on that occasion are quickly discarded now back on turf for the first time since joining this stable.

Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player.
