Showed promise as 2yo over 7f at Redcar and in a competitive 5f Beverley maiden; has AW winners in his immediate pedigree but his latest run suggests this 5f may be on the sharp side; handicaps on the horizon.

Good third over 5f at Musselburgh in May but below par over further since, last of five in 6f Redcar handicap latest start; mark is slipping though so could still play a part back at the minimum trip.

Just one win from ten starts but that was a dominant display in a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in October; mixed results in three subsequent runs but he went close at Wolverhampton in December and may have needed his reappearance run at Southwell in March; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back at this track.

All 2yo races at about 6f, failing to go on from a promising debut at Newmarket; an inability to settle was more of a problem than a lack of speed when dropped to 5f at Wolverhampton 15 days ago but she kept on well in the straight and this is likely to take less winning.

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.
