Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted.

Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip.

Mostly consistent filly who got off the mark on her fourth starts for this stable, winning a five-runner 1m novice on the AW at Lingfield two weeks ago; now makes her handicap debut but she isn't bred to stay this longer trip.

Appears to have a good chance on these terms, but she is proving more consistent than progressive and could only manage fourth of eight when sent off 4-7 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month (two heads behind Mystic Music); should again run her race, but far from solid.
