Won Yarmouth maiden (6f, good) in June for Kevin Philippart De Foy but went backwards subsequently; first-time blinkers (retained) when fifth of nine at Southwell (7f, AW) on seasonal/stable debut last month; needs to build on that.

Landed 6f Yarmouth maiden last June but she failed to kick on in nurseries after, beating just one at Lingfield (7f) in October on her final start for Kevin Philippart De Foy; changed hands for 11,000gns subsequently and she goes in blinkers for her new yard.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite on AW the last twice (7f/1m) but took his form figures to 62233 and is therefore proving a consistent sort; ran well in last turf attempt; fighting chance on nursery debut.

Two 6f wins on turf and AW for previous trainers and he ran right up to his best when a close fourth on Lingfield AW for this one in April; has had some excuses before and since and, while he's on the exposed side now, a good run can't be ruled out back on turf.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Mike Murphy

Closely matched with Alasrae on C&D form from Good Friday and his effort there can be marked up given he was poorly drawn; can be given a pass for Bath last time (hampered) and he has yet to run a poor race over C&D; more exposed than some but still commands respect.

Has shown some promise at novice level, making the frame (one place behind a subsequent winner) over C&D most recently; gelded since; open to progress in nurseries and looks interesting.

Having been gelded he was sent off favourite for last month's nursery debut at Yarmouth and won by a neck (7f, good to soft; unraced on softer); hit the front over 1f out last time and there's every chance he'll be fine now back down to 6f; key player in first-time cheekpieces up just 2lb.
