Record of 0-5 since debut win (AW) and has failed to progress since handicapping; chance depends on how well he reacts to blinkers (replacing cheekpieces worn the last twice).

Made a winning debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November but he's not really gone on from that and was only fourth of six on handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs improvement with headgear added at this new trip.

Maiden and front-running handicap winner last spring, who found her one Group and two Listed assignments much harder afterwards but those were her best form; all those were at about 1m4f but her second from off the pace at Toulouse on final outing gave hope for this longer trip; improvement needed.

Had 1m4f wins in the spring in a maiden at Southwell (AW) and handicap at Chester (good); 11-1 for Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) two months ago, racing a bit freely and never threatening in seventh of 11 but that is her best form; might still be able to build on that.

Beat Caspi Star to win maiden at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March on third start and followed up on handicap debut at Chester (12.2f, good) last month, when clear with the runner-up; this is a big step up in grade but she's just the type her trainer excels with and she could have lots more to offer.

Didn't have to improve on previous form to win a Wolverhampton maiden (1m4f, AW; 1-3) in April, but has been undone by a lack of pace in both handicaps since; races off the same mark and wouldn't be sure this will be run to suit him either.
