Easily made all on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on April 21st; disappointing favourite under a penalty on April 28th and 29th and she's now 10lb higher than for her win, but a 23-day break may have helped and if rediscovering the Redcar form she'll have a major shout.

Didn't progress as a 2yo and he was well beaten on his reappearance here two weeks ago (1m, good); dropped back to 6f and tried in a visor at Pontefract last week and he showed good speed, having most of the field off the bridle over 2f out; tired in the closing stages, eventually finishing fourth, but it suggested sprinting was his forte and he is able to race off 5lb lower today; solid claims.
