Form & Verdict
Comfortably held in small field on his debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in July but the winner's Group class and there was more to like when second of eight at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; came up against a good one that day too; big player on AW debut.

Changed hands for 55,000gns after winning a small-field Newcastle maiden (6f, AW) in October, his third start; unable to land any sort of blow in 7f AW Listed race for new stable in February but has sights lowered on this handicap debut; sports first-time cheekpieces.

Improved race by race as a 2yo for George Boughey, winning a 6f maiden at Newcastle in good style when last seen in October; only four ran there and the form is well short of a few of his rivals but he is open to further progress at this trip; sold for 55,000gns since latest run.

Form & Verdict
Mayson filly who belied her 66-1 starting price when keeping on for second at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in August; she was a bit of a handle in the preliminaries that day and should do better with that debut behind her; step up in trip could be a plus too; not ruled out.

Three fair efforts on Tapeta to date (dam won six for the yard on that surface, five over 5f), including from the front on comeback four weeks ago; will need improvement if she's to win off this mark on her turf debut.

With his third yard already and offered much more for his new trainer when second at a huge price on his handicap debut over C&D recently; looked suited by the way that race panned out but it gave something to build on.
