Won three of his last four, twice over C&D on good to firm; new mark demands a little bit extra, and soft ground would be new to him, but otherwise considered.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Has landed 1m2f fast-ground handicaps at Beverley and Wetherby in recent months; those were Class 6 events so this is a step up in grade but he had a fair bit in hand last time and there is likely more to come.

1m AW winner last December when 4lb lower; has bettered that effort in defeat on both subsequent starts on turf; step up in trip could help tease out a bit of improvement; each-way player.

Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh eight days ago; this course winner can go very well again under a 6lb penalty with headgear retained.

Kept on for a respectable fourth of eight at Redcar (1m, good to firm) recently when back from a 51-day break; she's dropped back down to her winning mark and might not be far away in first-time cheekpieces.

Won on nursery debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in December and returned from break with two pretty good turf runs in the spring (both 1m); below that form twice since (1m2f/1m4f) but may benefit from this drop back in trip.

Encouraging third on Salisbury debut (7f) last August, but she's been well held in three runs since including on handicap/stable debut (1m2f, good to firm) in June; had wind surgery since and she needs plenty of improvement after another break.

Shaped with promise on her debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last August but she wasn't able to build on that on her comeback run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 19 days ago; may come on for that but she'll need to.

Form & Verdict
Showed a degree of promise in a fillies' novice event at Newcastle on her third start (7f, AW); may have needed last month's handicap debut after a break, when upped to 1m2f at the same track (nibbled at in the market); drops 3lb; Oisin Murphy booked; check the market for further clues.
