Finished second at Kempton (7f) in February but he hasn't backed it up in two runs since; more to prove on turf and his stamina isn't assured either; cheekpieces discarded and a tongue-tie is added.

Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces.

One win from 16 starts, over 6f on Kempton AW last August; in the frame on sand six times since but she hardly shifts in the weights; probably handles turf but needs a bit more for the return to this surface if she's to get her head in front again.

Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces.

Well held all starts, including on her nursery debut, before she was dropped back to 5f in first-time headgear on Monday and came from last to first in the final 1f of a six-runner nursery at Chepstow (good); back up to 6f and has a 6lb penalty, which seemingly demands more of her as Redditizio and Isthatu finished on her heels at Chepstow, but she's clearly a player.
