Inconsistent 12-race maiden but he returned from a break with a respectable fourth in a classified event at Newcastle (7-2 favourite) last Monday; has possibilities if he can build on that and he looks worth another try at this trip.

Fourth, and one place behind Secret Daay, in slower division to Beneficiary, Atrafan and Rebelle Lady's over C&D last week but that came off a 221-day break and he opened his account over a furlong further at Wolverhampton on Monday, holding on well after taking it up turning in; carries 5lb more than his rivals but this may be an easier race.

Both wins have been on turf but she finished well to go close in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; that was a big run behind her main market rival and she's a key player back up in trip.
