Sole win was on his debut in December 2024 but he's been knocking on door for Jack Jones this spring including when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; remains well treated on best form and he's a big player on this first run for James Owen; hood removed.

Didn't kick on from his winning debut for David O'Meara; down in the weights as a result and he has run two solid races for his new stable, second over 6f at Leicester last month before a good third over C&D four weeks ago (good to firm); untried on slower than good but handicapped to win.

Sole win came on his debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December 2024 but he ran well when runner-up at Leicester (6f, good) on his stable debut eight days ago, shaping as if he's worth another go at 7f; contender if backing that effort up.

Latest effort excusable (caught wide over 7f, a trip she's not proven at) but she isn't progressing and needs a career best if she is to shed her maiden status on her first run for a new stable; the hood returns tonight.

Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though.

Unexposed after just four runs; looked green as a 2yo and appeared a much improved model when third of eight over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, fading after eight months off; the hood (omitted on return) goes back on today; in good hands and has far more potential than most of today's rivals.
