His dam was a useful heavy-ground 6f 2yo winner but he was beaten a long way at 22-1 on last month's debut at Hamilton (6f, soft) and this Harry Angel gelding needs to leave that performance miles behind.

Becoming exposed after six defeats and two of those were at odds-on, including the latest at Brighton; consistent though and won't be far away provided the new visor doesn't trip him up.

Two promising runs (6f, good and soft) for another yard as a 2yo; not at the same level in three runs for James Fanshawe and hopes appear to rest on the faster ground sparking something extra from him; cheekpieces tried last time swiftly dispensed with.

In the frame in all four starts over 6f, but was sent off odds-on when only third of six here (good) last time; doesn't appear to be progressing, but is still shortlisted on form and cheekpieces are now given a go.

Yet to win but he has finished second three times in novice/maiden company; cheekpieces have been worn for his three handicap runs and he has finished unplaced, albeit a bit of mid-race interference didn't help his cause over C&D four weeks ago; now drops into a 0-70 and could yet come good.

Down the field on his handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but ran a bit better when fourth of 11 at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; better still needed.

Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off.

6f maiden winner last season on soft ground; easily her best form was encouragingly on her reappearance on good to firm at Wetherby (7f handicap) where she was in rear for the most part but led late on for a length success; further progress is by no means out of the question for yard that won this in 2018 and last year.

Perhaps a shade disappointing when upped to 7f for soft-ground Listed race on final 2yo start but won Hamilton maiden (6f, soft) in September and the form of her close second at Goodwood (6f, good) in August reads well; still has untapped potential over this trip and beyond; interesting.
