Won over 1m2f at Ayr before her near miss there on Monday where she came from some way off the pace; could be considered a tad unlucky and gets in here off the same mark; stays this far and could give Halimede a race.

11-race maiden prior to his step up to 1m4f at this track (good) 13 days ago which he won by a short head, leading 5f out and fighting off a strong challenge; 3lb rise does not look harsh and he has not had much exposure over this sort of trip; could go well again.

Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated.

Form & Verdict
Failed to go on after a good third at Newcastle (1m2f) last July, signing off for Paul Robson with a fading seventh of 11 in 1m4f handicap there last month; starts out for new yard here off a reduced mark and not without interest, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Best efforts have come at around 1m2f and he hasn't looked to see it out in a handful of starts over further, latterly in first-time cheekpieces (switches to blinkers tonight) at Musselburgh 11 days ago; on a competitive mark now otherwise.

0-10 and he was unable to reward market support on his stable debut at Ayr (1m2f, good) 26 days ago; new accessories given a spin this afternoon but he does have to prove his stamina.
