Thrice-raced filly who has failed to back up the form of her debut success (AW); never landed a blow at Chester switched to turf most recently; something to prove.

J: Billy Garritty

Promise when third at Pontefract (5f, good) and York (5f, good to firm) in his first two starts before a lesser effort at Carlisle (5f, good to soft); again below his best when third of 12 at Beverley (5f, soft; gelded) following a 110-day break; needs to step forward from that on nursery debut.

Thoroughly exposed but he is a reliable sort and comes here on the back of two good nursery efforts (5f); returning to 6f in his favour; just held by Carnation Queen on their York run in June but still high on the list.

Sole attempt at Pontefract resulted in his 2yo debut success (5f); 0-7 since but ran respectably at Beverley most recently and is interesting off a reduced mark returned to this venue.

Raced on AW, winning 6f Chelmsford novice for the Crisfords last summer; led until well inside the final furlong when fourth of seven in 5f Southwell handicap on reappearance for new yard 18 days ago; if he comes on only a little for that outing he could take a bit of pegging back in this lower grade.

Two wins and a close second in his three handicap starts, the latest win a snug one at Ripon two weeks ago (6f, good); up 6lb and drops to 5f for the first time since his debut but he's progressive and shouldn't be underestimated.

Suited by drop back in trip when scoring on this month's handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) and probably bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) a fortnight later; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and nicely drawn towards nearside rail; big player.

Course regular whose latest fourth, back from a short break, has been boosted since by the front three all going on to win; C&D victory late last year came in first-time blinkers and he holds decent claims switched to a visor; yard also run Mystical Land.
