Won on debut here (5f, good) last April and close second to Anaisa in Listed race at Ripon in August (6f, good; albeit weak form for the grade); disappointing in nursery at Carlisle shortly after and she's 9lb higher for this return to action, but she's not ruled out for a trainer among the winners.

Kept busy as a 2yo with 12 runs, winning a 7f Chester seller (good to firm); left the impression a stiff 1m at Pontefract (soft) just stretched him on final start; this slightly shorter trip could therefore suit on reappearance but he has a much more exposed profile than most; has been gelded.

Didn't live up to market expectation when a well-held third at Wolverhampton (7-2) but he stumbled at an early stage and was badly hampered on the home turn; could show a lot more if he gets a smooth run this time and he's in the mix for in-form yard.
