Ex-Irish filly who made a winning stable debut at Wetherby in April (7f, good to firm); added another front-running success at Chester in June (7f, good) and her latest second at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) represented further improvement; no obvious reason why she wouldn't be in the thick of it again.

Started out for Michael Bell with 6f wins at Yarmouth and Doncaster; progress has stalled since then but he's back to a good mark and the return to 6f on fast ground should be in his favour.

Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Southwell last month but two subsequent turf efforts have been blighted by slow starts; on a dangerous mark but he goes without any accessories and needs to get it right at the stalls.

Below par on AW last autumn on final two runs for Stuart Williams; however, he twice went close on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm) last August and he'll be bang there if rediscovering that form on his stable and seasonal debut, for which he wears a tongue-tie; remains in same ownership.

Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces.

Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance.
