Form & Verdict
Ran well in all three starts last year, making a successful debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) and going down by half a length to a subsequent winner in a four-runner Doncaster nursery (7f, heavy) on her final outing; out of an AW winner and worth a second look if ready to go after 162 days off.

All seven races at 7f; progressive in handicaps in the spring and made it 2-3 for the year when doing it readily at Ascot (good) in May; down the field in the Group 3 Jersey at the Royal meeting (good to firm; third of seven in the near-side group) but he's better than that and is not ruled out in view of his previous promise, especially as the step up to 1m could suit.

Tends to be delivered late; keeps getting better and showed his liking for this C&D when beating nine opponents with plenty in hand in handicap here six weeks ago; should continue on an upward curve and he's well worth his place in this higher grade.

Impressive winner over 7f on Southwell AW reappearance; made favourite for a good 7f Newbury handicap since, when 6lb well in under a penalty, but failed to get into the action soon enough, finishing second to a more prominently ridden winner (May Angel just behind); still has potential despite running off his new mark and this stiff 7f can suit.

Justified skinny odds on his Pontefract debut (6f, good to firm) last August and ran well on turf afterwards, but having been gelded has been well held in two starts on the AW since returning in January; needs a resurgence over the extra furlong.

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

Landed a Windsor novice (6f, good) last summer but faced impossible tasks in most of her other starts; probably found the trip too sharp when fifth of nine on nursery debut here (5f; first-time blinkers) in October, but still has enough to prove back from 163 days off.
