Stepped up on the form of any of this three wins as a 2yo (for Karl Burke) when second over 1m here in May; had three-next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion but he hasn't reproduced that level in four subsequent outings; all 13 turf starts have come on good/good to firm; needs a return to Haydock to spark a revival.

Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month.

Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f.

Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Took a good step forward when second of 11 at Newmarket last November (7f, good to soft), her third start; in at the deep end in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn on her reappearance and came up well short; not obviously well treated and the step up to 1m needs to spark extra.

Close up behind Zooming in a novice race last season; ran well in her handicap (1m, good) on penultimate start but was only fourth and it was a small field she disposed of back in a novice at Leicester (good to firm; beat Crownright); it's difficult to envisage her being good enough.

Often front-runner; four wins over about 1m this year and twice runner-up (Epsom and Chester) in quick succession when stepped up to 1m2f in June; kept on well under usual rider Rose Dawes last time and this trip is unlikely to be an issue, but further improvement is needed for sure.
