Sole win from 12 starts was over 1m2f on AW but she wasn't beaten far on turf at Lingfield (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; that was under a prominent ride and has possibilities if she can build on that in new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Holds weak claims on his maiden/novice form (6f/7f, turf) for Jane Chapple-Hyam but combination of gelding operation, new trip, change of surface and first-time blinkers is a possible source of improvement on debut for new yard; market support should be noted.

Better than ever this term; doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player.

He's 2-5 for this yard, the wins over 1m on good to soft and good to firm; a slow start was no help last time at Thirsk but he might be high in the weights now.

Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; ties in closely with Rising Force and Dire Wolf on creditable Kempton running (1m) last time, doing well having endured a wide trip; possibilities provided he stays this extra 2f.
