Won his first two starts in novice company over 6f, both at Ripon; was poor over the same C&D last time in a Listed contest as 6/5 fav'; has to rebound up in trip.

£200,000 breeze-up purchase who comfortably saw off three rivals when sent off at 2-5 for his C&D debut (good) 18 days ago; an entry in the Group 1 Middle Park suggests he's well regarded by a stable which won this last year with a subsequent Listed winner.

Improved from a promising debut when winning a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) by 6l in June; finished a respectable third of five in a Newbury Listed event (6f, good to firm) last month and shouldn't be far away; holds entries in the Mill Reef and Middle Park.

Disappointed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago; earlier Windsor third was a solid effort though and the return of blinkers (worn at Windsor but left off latest) could see him resume his progress.

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.

Form & Verdict
Has mostly run with credit since winning at Thirsk (5f, good) on her second start, including when sixth of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on Saturday, doing best of those who raced on her side; will do well to make an impact at this level, though.

Won on debut here (5f, good) last April and close second to Anaisa in Listed race at Ripon in August (6f, good; albeit weak form for the grade); disappointing in nursery at Carlisle shortly after and she's 9lb higher for this return to action, but she's not ruled out for a trainer among the winners.
