Form & Verdict
Encouraging start to his career when third of seven in a Goodwood novice 19 days ago (6f, good); flashed his tail in the final furlong but that could have been down to inexperience; open to improvement.

Record of 2-2 on AW; doesn't look particularly solid on his two turf efforts, latest at Newbury (handicap debut) where he ended up last of 14 having raced freely and been eased once dropping away.

Inexperience evident on his 2yo debut (6f, good) and he has since made all for easy AW wins at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton (7f); the form of neither of those wins looks especially strong but he was in a different class to his rivals; this will be a far stiffer test of his credentials.

Going nowhere at halfway but the penny dropped in the closing stages of his Leicester debut 24 days ago and he was only beaten a neck into third at the finish (5f, good to soft); 6f should suit and he is open to improvement; good chance in an uncompetitive race.

Two runs over 7f, failing to build on the promise of her Ayr debut when fourth at Lingfield (AW) three weeks later; not bred to sprint but she has gone with plenty of enthusiasm and the drop in trip is worth exploring.

Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her.
