Took advantage of a sliding mark when easily winning an ordinary Nottingham handicap from the front five weeks ago; drawn to attack again and fine on Tapeta but an 8lb rise will test him into a deeper race.

She has made steady progress throughout her career, winning three times on AW, and she was unlucky not to register a first turf success when a close third over C&D last week; saw no daylight at a crucial stage on that occasion and the form has already been franked; good chance.

Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest.

Had nine starts and the AW win last summer (beating Winchurch over 5f; 3lb higher) is very much the standout; 50-1 and trailed home last at Windsor a month ago; that was in cheekpieces but no great significance in the return of blinkers.
