All three wins this year came over 1m2f on good to firm, including at Beverley off 3lb lower last month; solid third over that C&D (soft) last time and the return to forecast quicker conditions may help him resume his progress; tactically versatile and he's a big player.

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.

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.

Five-race maiden; last of five (beaten 46l) when returning from a three-month break (post wind surgery) over 1m3f at Kempton recently; it's difficult to say why tackling a longer trip will play to her strengths; better to focus elsewhere.

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.

Ran okay on her first two starts this season and has dropped down the weights but she's struggled on her last three runs; major turnaround needed in a first-time hood (replacing the cheekpieces adopted last time).

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.
