Won a 6f maiden and two 7f claimers as a 2yo, and has made the frame in several AW handicaps this year (7f-8.6f); not at best on latest outing eight days ago and unraced on turf slower than good to soft but still needs to be taken very seriously in this grade.

Showed promise for the Johnstons and wasn't beaten far in a 6f nursery at Newcastle on stable debut three weeks ago; that form looks solid and could have more to come but fitting of cheekpieces sounds a note of caution.

Failed to win in seven starts for the Johnstons but he ran some good races, notably a close third at Nottingham in September; struggled over C&D 11 weeks ago, after which he was sold for 32,000gns and gelded; down in class and not a forlorn hope.

Yet to win (0-11), but runner-up on three occasions, including in blinkers at Chepstow (7f) in July; she has had various issues, either in or breaking from the stalls (stumbled badly at Ffos Las) since; reverting to cheekpieces coupled with a first visit to Newcastle could spark a revival.
