J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Philip McBride

Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, sound turf and AW) and she completed her season with very creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; look for market interest ahead of this reappearance.

Appeared to display significant improvement when seventh of nine in Windsor novice (5f, good) last month, his third start, but may have been flattered by his proximity there and probably needs to kick on again here.

On the up for new stable this year, fourth at Windsor on his return in May before getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; still looked to be learning his job on that occasion and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; apprentice rider Harry Vigors making a big name for himself; lots to like.

Improved form when runner-up on nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) last August but he flopped at Bath (last of six) in his final run for John O'Shea; been gelded since and has bit to prove for new yard after 233 days off.

Form & Verdict
Safely held in her three 6f qualifying races but showed some good early speed before weakening at Windsor (good) last time, and may benefit from the drop in trip on this nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Opened account at Catterick (6f, good to soft) last month, her second nursery; not in quite the same form when only third of four at Ffos Las (6f, good) a fortnight later and another 1lb higher here but has possibilities if she copes with the drop back in trip.

Cheekpieces have helped and he just looked to find Ascot's 6f stretching him in better company last time; whether today's easy 5f is too far the other way is the question.
