Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again.

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft.

Bred to be a useful stayer but her two runs in Class 6 handicaps have seen her finish down the field; too soon to write her off completely, especially now dipping into a 0-50 classified, but she's not convincing.
