Made all in Ayr maiden (5.5f, good) in July and has since run well in both nurseries (6f/5f, good), just a head behind Dandy Style last time; can make another bold bid if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground).

Shaped well when second on reappearance at Ripon (6f) in April but he beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap the following month; this fair 5.5f juvenile winner shouldn't be written off.

A fair and consistent 5.5f scorer at 2yrs; back from six months off with a good clear second of 13 in 6f Ripon handicap last month; not taken lightly despite a 4lb weights rise.

Form & Verdict
Made all at Catterick (5f, good) on second start then mid-division in warm fillies' conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good); fared best of the four who were on the far side on nursery debut at Thirsk (5f, good) this month and attractive pedigree hints slow ground will suit; interesting.

Made all with hood added at Catterick (5f, good) on her second start and she ran well for a long way in useful conditions event at Glorious Goodwood (sixth of 11) last time; should have more to offer now switched to a nursery and this speedy filly needs a close look.

Too headstrong on debut but showed the benefit of a hood at Catterick (5f, good) where she made all; upped in class but this speedy sort may improve further in the retained headgear.

Form & Verdict
Close second of four on nursery debut over C&D (good) in July and could appreciate this drop back in trip; however, he was soundly beaten when fourth of seven here (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Sole attempt at Pontefract resulted in his 2yo debut success (5f); 0-7 since but ran respectably at Beverley most recently and is interesting off a reduced mark returned to this venue.

Weights chance on defeat of Saucy Jane on Pontefract form (5f) last spring, when they finished first and second, but some water under the bridge since then and he ran one of his lesser races on sole AW start, at Newcastle in June; needs to have improved during his break to win today.

Made all at Thirsk (6f, good) in July on second start and fourth in warm novice there (6f, good) later that month; close third on nursery debut there (5f, good) last time and he showed promise on good to soft ground on his debut at Carlisle in May; every chance he'll be bang there.

Made all over 6f here on his second start and he ran into a subsequent Gimcrack (Group 2) winner when a respectable fourth here last time; those last two runs were under positive tactics and he looks interesting back at 5f on nursery debut.

Finished close-up in two 5f novices (good to firm/good) prior to his fourth on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when shaping as though the return to 5f would suit; not ruled out.

Did too much up front on debut; couldn't quite get the job done when favourite at Redcar (5f, good to firm) since but ran well despite losing a shoe; subsequently gelded; one of the main form contenders.
