Won two of his first four starts, including at this track on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); both runs this season have been respectable and he could take a step forward with a tongue-tie added.

Made it 2-4 when making all on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) last June; then absent until Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago, when he failed to settle and finished strongly for 3l sixth of 14 having had to be switched around several runners in the straight; drops back in trip today but this lightly raced 5yo could be quite a bit better than his current mark.

Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work.

Ended last season with a good third to Man Of La Mancha over 1m1f on this course (good to firm); shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, short of room closing stages; should be spot-on with that run behind him and looks ready to strike.
