Took a forward step in the new blinkers when narrowly beaten by a fellow nursery newcomer over 7f at Newcastle (AW) where the third was some 3l back; should cope with the 6f okay but he did run poorly in his previous encounter with soft ground.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.
