£200,000 breeze-up purchase who comfortably saw off three rivals when sent off at 2-5 for his C&D debut (good) 18 days ago; an entry in the Group 1 Middle Park suggests he's well regarded by a stable which won this last year with a subsequent Listed winner.

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.

Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider.

T: Tim Easterby

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that.

Won on debut here (5f, good) last April and close second to Anaisa in Listed race at Ripon in August (6f, good; albeit weak form for the grade); disappointing in nursery at Carlisle shortly after and she's 9lb higher for this return to action, but she's not ruled out for a trainer among the winners.

All three wins at 5f, on soft, good to soft and the AW; has had some excuses since the latest in March and the return to a 5f handicap looks in her best interests after she ran in Listed races either side of a modest 6f run at Chester; it's likely she needs to find extra for this, even so.
