Form & Verdict
Best effort in three starts when fifth of 14 in a Kempton maiden (7f, AW) in June; bred to be better than he has shown so far (half-brother to two winners with three-figure RPRs) and the stable won this with a nursery debutant last year; interesting.

Market mover when coming home strongly to win on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and it was a similar story here two weeks ago, getting up late on (good); ready for a mile and still learning by the looks, so good chance of a hat-trick.

Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month.

Form & Verdict
Appreciated the longer trip and application of cheekpieces when narrowly beating a subsequent winner on nursery debut at Beverley (7f, soft) last month, but finished a well-held fourth of nine at Chester (7f, good to soft) a week ago; races off the same mark and needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive in four starts and would have won a Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) nine days ago had her rider not eased her prematurely (received a 28-day ban); 7f should be within range and strong chance of making amends on nursery debut; stable also runs Majestic Heights.
