Seven-race maiden; has a tendency to race too freely and needs to rebound from a disappointing effort last time but his second of 17 at Leicester (7f, good) two starts ago was a good effort; enters calculations.

J: Alex Jary

Made the breakthrough when making all in a Redcar handicap (7f, good) in May; mixed form in four subsequent runs, but he went close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and had an excuse at Thirsk (stumbled at the start) last time; still unexposed at this trip and he's a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form.

0-5 as a 2yo for Nigel Tinkler but rallied well for fourth on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in October and was denied clear run when third over that C&D a few weeks later; upped in trip for stable debut; could have a say if fully tuned up.

Beaten favourite in the 7.5f nursery on this card last year, but better than a record of 1-23 might imply and she remains 4lb below her winning mark; likely goaded into overracing last time over a 1m2f trip she's still quite new to, and return to about 1m for now may do no harm.

Stamina for 1m2f wasn't assured at Redcar, a course that suits her, eight days ago but she was fine and meets Baldosa (third) and Diamond Aura (fourth) on the same terms; below-par favourite here in the spring, which would be a slight worry.
