Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style.

Ready C&D win on debut last month (soft); straightforward task at Leicester two weeks later (5f, good to firm) but she made a good fist of it on on her handicap debut at Newmarket 13 days ago (5f, good), giving best only to another progressive 3yo; 2lb higher but the return to 6f will suit; Group 1 entries suggest she's held in some regard and she's open to further progress; shortlisted.
