Made a good start when winning a Haydock maiden (6f, good) last July; wasn't beaten far in Group 3 at Ascot next time but she's finished tailed off in both subsequent runs and latest was on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) last month; still unexposed but she needs a big turnaround.

Campaigned only on turf; 0-5 since debut win and has inconsistent form this term; may prove suited by the switch to this sphere, being sister to a multiple AW scorer (including four times over C&D).

Form & Verdict
Faced a couple of tough tasks after winning his maiden (7f, good to firm) but his form has been up and down and he reappeared with a ninth of ten on handicap debut at Ascot in May; left Charlie Hills for 10,000gns since and has something to prove for new yard; headgear added.

All of his seven runs have been in good or good to firm; won over 6f in the last two of his three 2yo runs but he's found it tough going in handicaps this season; dropped another 3lb but he was he was only fourth of five at Epsom last time and needs a transformation back up in trip.

In good form on fast ground in July prior to winning at Lingfield (7f, AW), and he followed up at Sandown (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; into a tougher race today but this 4yo is clearly on the up and is one to consider for last year's winning yard.

Two wins over 6f as a juvenile; his best run this season was a near-miss at Yarmouth (1m, good) in June but he got a soft lead in that small field and he failed to repeat the form at York last month; bit to prove again after that and not sure this drop back in trip will suit.
