Beaten a long way in four 2yo runs on soft ground as a 2yo; much better on good and good to firm this month (tried an eyeshield latest); can win races at this level but the return to slower ground could be an issue.

Nine-race maiden but she has shown promise, notably when second to a well-treated rival at Nottingham last month (5f, soft); behind a couple of these at Nottingham last time but getting back on slower ground can help.

Form & Verdict
0-9 but reliable and well treated on his best effort; often races freely though and that won't help him get home on the forecast ground (unraced on slower than good to soft); blinkers the headgear of choice this time.
