On the up since joining current yard, landing 7f Lingfield maiden (good) in May before he was beaten two short heads at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; runner-up was a convincing winner at Carlisle on Wednesday; up 2lb and he's a big player if this drop back down to 6f proves no barrier.

Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and was very respectable seventh in good Newmarket handicap (1m, good) contested by a few of these last month but might be vulnerable to less-exposed rivals again.

Kept on well to prevail by a head against her own sex at Catterick (7f, good) nine days ago and now 2-2 in handicaps; another 3lb higher over a slightly longer trip but is probably still improving; has big role to play.

Justified favouritism in another Class 5 event last week, taking Catterick record to 3-3 and strike-rate since handicapping to 4-6; Newmarket win shows she's versatile as regards track; upped in class but receives weight all round and possibly hasn't stopped improving yet.

Improved for handicapping this year, always prominent when winning at Newmarket and over C&D in May and then overcoming a slow start back here 16 days ago; another 4lb rise to contend with but she should make a bold bid to maintain her unbeaten course record.

May have needed the run when down the field on her seasonal/handicap debut in May; took a good step forward with her win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust but she still has time on her side.
