Shaped nicely at a big price on his debut, despite rearing at the start and pulling hard; again raced freely, minus the hood, when off the mark at Newcastle two months ago and shouldn't mind the drop from /6f; needs more under the penalty though.

Confirmed the promise of his debut in October (6f, good) by winning a 6f novice here one month later; impressive dropped to 5f at Southwell on New Year's Day when he made all to record a near-4l success; not obviously thrown in for this handicap debut but he is unexposed and can't be ruled out.

Far from exciting on turf but half-sister to the yard's four-time C&D winner Brandy Station (two wins on Fibresand, two on Tapeta; runs in the 5.26) and did much better here last time; holds decent claims on that.

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.

Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed.

Big improvement on her second start when going close behind American Rose at Wolverhampton (5f) in December; well below that form in another Tapeta run in January but she now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark and needs watching in market on this switch to turf; cheekpieces added.
