Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip.

Won his first two nurseries (5f/6f, good/AW) but he's taken backward steps in last two starts and was beaten around 8l at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last week; the slow ground may have been an issue but he needs to resume his progress at this new trip.

Didn't progress for Marco Botti but there were the odd flickers of ability; well beaten on stable debut 12 days ago but 1m was too much of a test, especially given how freely she raced early on; Oisin Orr 2-9 for the stable and she could have a bigger run in her back sprinting.

Breakthrough win 15 days ago came over 5f at Thirsk at odds of 18-1 (good to firm); she very much got first run on the second but has been nudged up just 2lb and a 7lb claimer takes over in the saddle; chance.

Made all in four-runner event on nursery debut at Lingfield (6f) in July and repeated the trick in another small field at that track (5f, also good to soft) a fortnight later; couldn't dominate at Leicester next time but that was only eight days later and she's respected as one of just two previous winners in the field.
