Two wins in the first half of 2025, over 1m at Southwell and 7f at Redcar; not so good after the latter win but she returns from 202 days off at a low level; worth a market check.

Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached.

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start.

Three course wins in the first half of 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; this winter's efforts don't suggest he is the answer but Paul Mulrennan returns to the saddle and blinkers (only worn once in his last 11 starts and that run was his best RPR in that period) replace cheekpieces.
