Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best.

Ten-race maiden; holds each-way claims on her placed form, which includes a creditable third at Newmarket (7f) on seasonal debut; her two subsequent efforts don't bode well.
