Had some good form in defeat prior to landing an AW maiden last October (6f; 1-4 favourite); not at his best at Kempton in March but this mark is in range judged on his fourth at York's Ebor meeting.

Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.

Promise on her second start for Anthony Carson, finishing second of seven at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); easy to back and finished well beaten in a 1m maiden at Lingfield on stable debut six weeks ago; needs a market check dropping in trip for her handicap/turf debut.

Confirmed promise of her Chelmsford debut (7f) last September by finishing second in a 6f maiden back at Chelmsford one month later; sold for 10,000gns since; form is up there with the best of that on show but she has to prove her stamina and there are some intriguing newcomers in opposition.

Both starts over 6f on turf, finishing second at Ripon then running below market expectations at Newbury; one of the main players provided he's back to debut form, and may yet progress.

Just one win to his name but he boasts some solid AW form and ran well on his return to the turf when third at Sandown two weeks ago; stall 10 isn't great but he is usually a rapid starter and it's not out of the question that he'll get to the front.
