Having dropped in the weights he ran his best race of the year when third of nine at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on Thursday; now has something to build on.

Sole win came over this C&D last May on his second start and he ran respectably when sixth of 12 here in May; however, he's run below that level in two starts since and needs to bounce back returned to this track.

Off the mark in Hamilton maiden (good; second start) in June and won a Haydock nursery (also 6f; good to firm) in August; first attempt at 7f came in a warm York handicap and looked like that experiment was worth repeating back at 6f last time; respected on AW debut.

Found himself isolated from the main action when disappointing in a Group 3 at Goodwood; had been nicely progressive and was conceding weight to the front two (including Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane) when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury despite losing his focus and wandering when hitting the front; strong chance, provided he gets home over 6f (kept to 5f thus far).

Pacey filly; has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f; runner-up) and Beverley (5f; third); seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit; likely to give her running and have a say.
