Three wins for his former stable, the latest at Hamilton (6f, good) in June; sold for 11,000gns last month; widest stall to overcome on his stable debut; a hood now returns.

Best form of the year when persevering well to win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but disappointingly failed to do herself justice at Hamilton next time, a track where she won and went close (in a higher grade than this) last autumn; has had a short break since and may well revive.
