His three best efforts for Michael Keady all came over 6f at Nottingham, including a nursery win off 4lb lower; promise in two AW runs but he will need extra if he is to make a winning debut for his new yard (same owner).

He's seen plenty of action and was with his third trainer when bagging Newmarket handicap (6f, good) last Friday; return to this career-high mark demands more.

Two 6f wins on turf and AW for previous trainers and he ran right up to his best when a close fourth on Lingfield AW for this one in April; has had some excuses before and since and, while he's on the exposed side now, a good run can't be ruled out back on turf.

Closely matched with Alasrae on C&D form from Good Friday and his effort there can be marked up given he was poorly drawn; can be given a pass for Bath last time (hampered) and he has yet to run a poor race over C&D; more exposed than some but still commands respect.

Promising juvenile who won Chelmsford maiden (AW; second start) in June and fairly valuable Salisbury novice (again 6f, good to firm) three weeks later; signed off last term with solid handicap third but worryingly she finished last in both starts this spring; drops in grade with blinkers given a whirl and needs to prove she's trained on.
