Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) off 7lb lower in July; went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and a stumble at the start may have lit him up when midfield at Doncaster 12 days ago; career-high mark but he's not ruled out.

Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern.

Five-race maiden who is very nicely bred, being a son of Frankel and from the family of Dubawi; ran well (neck second) over 1m2f on the turf track at Lingfield on handicap debut; behind Didaar at Nottingham since but may do better still; steps up in trip.

Made virtually all to get off the mark in a Kempton novice (7f) in February; made an encouraging handicap debut when beaten less than 2l at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; she should not be far away if that runs brings her on.

7f course winner; so far campaigned in blocks of two starts, before being freshened up; her win came on the second of one of those spells, offering encouragement after her recent 1l third at Bath (1m2f, good); however, she's also had a couple of lesser second efforts, so she still has a bit to prove.
