Steady progress in four starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy as 2yo, before sold for £26,000gns; 11-1 for nine-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and came from last to first to get off the mark at first time of asking for new connections; up 5lb but 1m4f should be within reach and she probably has more to give.

Beaten a long way on reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, he may have needed the run and he was a close second of five at Redcar (1m, good) last November in his sole nursery; a case can be made on that form.
