In the frame in eight consecutive starts between July 2022 and August last year, including three here (6f/7f), but seems to have gone off the boil (well held in both outings for this yard); now 0-16 and best to look elsewhere.

15-race maiden who was below par on her final few runs for Grant Tuer and it was the same story on her recent stable debut at Catterick; however, it wasn't a bad performance last time, she could build on it today, and she's well handicapped on the pick of last summer's efforts; possibilities.

Seven-race maiden; has shown glimpses of ability, namely when fourth in a first-time visor at Musselburgh (7f, good) on penultimate start; it is possible that he found his next run at Ripon coming a shade too soon; blinkers are now the headgear of choice from this falling mark.
