Did well for Grace Harris in 2025 and she has continued the good work this time around, getting off the mark for the year with a game win at Bath last week (5f, good); has a penalty to shoulder but she is well drawn and should make another bold bid.

Below par at Windsor last time on first run since being gelded; however, perhaps the fast ground didn't suit and he'd previously shown ability at Brighton (5.2f, good) and in France (5.5f, very soft) in these blinkers (which go back on along with a new tongue-tie); a possible if conditions suit.
