33-1 winner of 6f maiden at Yarmouth as 2yo but she's found handicaps rather hard work since and was well back when upped to 1m on the Rowley course in May on her second run for this yard; needs so much more.

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.

Three of his four wins have been over 6f on the AW but the other came over this C&D (good to soft); latest effort at Southwell (6f, AW) can probably be excused having had a wide trip but others are still preferred; steps back up in trip in a first-time visor.

0-6 and disappointing in handicaps on both starts this season (7f/6f, good to firm/good); however, she was runner-up in a nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last September and it's possible the return to slow ground will trigger a revival; he's a player if so.
