Won twice as a 2yo; she has found the going tougher this time around but the handicapper is relenting and this should be more suitable; others still look more appealing; stable runs two.

2yo campaign concluded with good third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft); just one start this year, when keeping on strongly for close Listed third at Sandown (5f, good) in June; this sharp 5f may not play to his strengths but he has a Group 1 entry and is one to be interested in.

Midfield on Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) but stepped up from that when winning a Nottingham maiden (5f, good) 18 days ago (runner-up filled same position at Chester last weekend); open to further progress but that form leaves him with plenty to find at this level; stable won this in 2011.
