Won on second start (8.6f, AW) then followed up in Lingfield novice (1m1f, good to firm) before completing the hat-trick in Ayr handicap (1m2f, good to soft); another good run when clear second of five behind an improving sort at Ayr (1m2f, soft) and he's a likely player in first-time cheekpieces.

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in May on her second start and followed up in Lingfield novice (1m1f, good to firm), making all each time; makes handicap debut off a fair mark and he's open to further improvement for last year's winning yard; firmly in calculations.

Clear second at 100-1 on her Kempton debut and ran to a similar level as favourite a fortnight ago, when arguably an unlucky loser (pulled hard, came wide, said to have hung right); needs to settle up from 7f on her Tapeta debut but sets the standard.
