Recorded 33-1 success in a valuable 6f York handicap last summer and has run some good races over that trip as a 3yo, including when overcoming a wide draw with aplomb at Chester in May; failed to stay 7f on the AW on her final 2yo start but might have needed a rest by then; has a bit to prove but it's possible she'll fare better on this second attempt at the trip.

220,000gns breeze-up 2yo who has raced at 5f so far, showing plenty of promise when second on Dante meeting debut here before beaten about only 3l when seventh (Old Is Gold eighth, Shaman Champion ninth) of 23 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; comfortably landed short odds in a four-runner maiden at Hamilton since and interesting now stepped up to 6f for nursery debut in a race his yard has won three times since 2015, including last year.

0-13 and he hasn't suggested he's about to cash in on a reduced mark, including when sixth of ten at Carlisle (7f) last Thursday; he's never gone closer than when a neck second at Musselburgh last August on his sole start at 5f, however, which could be a straw to clutch to.

Raced at around 5f, scoring on debut at Wetherby (good to firm); came up short at Listed level on next two starts before making a successful start to his nursery career in a small-field race at Hamilton (good) last month; found out when stepped back up in class for the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood since but this is more realistic now tackling 6f for the first time.
