1-13; made all in a Class 6 handicap at Chelmsford (1m2f) in February, but has quickly gone off the boil since, weakening into eighth (of 11) at Wolverhampton last week; needs more.

Low-grade handicapper on the Flat for Charlie Johnston; just did enough to win tactical race at Warwick (2m, good) on last month's stable/hurdle debut but the form isn't anything to get too excited about and she was pulled up after racing too freely in a Listed race 18 days ago.

Much more on her handicap debut, when fitted with first-time blinkers and upped from 6f to 1m, coming home nicely from some way back; remains open to improvement going up in trip again (dam produced winners over various distances).

9.4f was too short on penultimate start and his third over 1m4f at Lingfield two days ago was much more like it; needs some riding and has worn a variety of equipment; record in his eight handicaps this year includes four seconds and just one win but he will probably end up thereabouts.
