In the frame in ten of his 12 starts since his latest success, as when fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago where he looked unlucky not to finish closer; his consistency means he gets little respite from the handicapper, but should run his race again.

Nothing wrong with any of his three course efforts and cheekpieces have helped lately; has had plenty of chances off this sort of mark but should run his race again and the step back up from 7f won't hurt.

Made a winning stable debut (blinkered first time) at Redcar in June and she did well to defy her low draw at Thirsk in August; ran poorly at Carlisle in her hat-trick bid in September (Class 5) but not impossibly treated if back to that Thirsk level.

0-11 when trained by Adrian Nicholls, failing to build on her early promise; fitted with blinkers for her stable debut at Redcar seven weeks ago (6f, good) and she produced a strong finish to put her head in front on the finishing line; 3lb higher but last season's best offers hope that she will be up to the task.
