Three front-running wins at 1m4f, on AW and turf (good to soft; effective on good), but he doesn't have to lead, as shown when held up before having a tight passage behind an improver at Kempton (1m3f) in February; rare to see him over 1m2f but he has a good run in him back on turf.

Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that.

Rapidly improving 3yo who took her record since joining this yard to 211141 with a convincing success at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) eight days ago; 6lb penalty puts her 22lb higher than when the sequence began, but she is still 1lb well in; no telling how much progress she still has left.
