Big run on stable/handicap debut (formerly trained by Denis Quinn) at Wolverhampton last week (6f) when returning from over 15 months off; will take plenty of beating off the same mark if this doesn't come too soon; Hector Crouch is 10-46 (+11.32) for the yard in the last five years.

All seven starts on AW; went close on stable debut at Wolverhampton (6f) last month after a long absence then won at Southwell (6f); this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer for her current yard; respected on turf debut.

Ability in five juvenile starts for Denis Quinn, going closest when beaten a neck at Southwell (6f fillies' maiden; 50-1) in October 2024; returns to action for a new trainer off a 478-day absence; best watched unless the market speaks favourably.

Just missed out at Southwell ten days ago (6f), finishing off his race strongly; 1lb higher mark and stronger opposition to contend with but his proven record in big-field events (first of 21, first of 22 and fourth of 24 on the three occasions he's run in fields of 16+) bodes well.

Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn.
