February foal who holds a couple of notable entries; dam was generally kept to the AW but was a half-sister to two winners on soft ground and it'll be interesting to see how she goes in the market under Ben Curtis (first ride for the yard).

Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up.

Late-foaled first offspring of the trainer's East Coast Lady, who won second time out as a 2yo and was at home on this sort of ground; yard still to get rolling for the year but this filly, who's their first juvenile runner of the spring, is one to keep an eye on.
