A maiden after ten starts but did well to finish second to a progressive rival at Wolverhampton (1m6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago, given he raced wide and had a lot of use made of him in the early stages; remains unexposed over this trip and looks ready to strike soon.

3yo who is 0-9; encouraging efforts over 1m4f here in a visor the last twice, finishing third most recently (ran in snatches); now wears first-time blinkers instead and he could be suited by the extra yardage; chance.

Finished closer than previously when fifth of ten in a 0-50 classified event at Ripon (1m2f, good) first-time cheekpieces) ten days ago, shaping as though worth a go over this far; half-sister to a couple of AW winners out of an AW winner, but she does need to step up.
