Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid.

Promising debut last spring but she completed her qualifying runs with two minor efforts and, although worth a go at this trip on pedigree, she didn't look to be wanting to go any further when not finding much on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) in March.

Showed promise with her debut fifth over C&D last February but she missed 12 months after that and has struggled in two maidens this year; in good hands and still early days but she needs a transformation on handicap debut.

Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account.
