0-12 but she was placed on her final two starts for Gemma Tutty at Newcastle over 6f, and ran well when runner-up here over 6f on her stable debut; down the field at Newcastle ten days ago but she was beaten only 4l; steps back up in trip.

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many.

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw.
