Had a near miss at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in June but he's not come close to that form since and is now 0-13; others are more solid.

0-12 but he's reached the frame in five of his last six starts including when fourth of 13 in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; this return to 7f is no problem and he's a key player back in a handicap.

13-race maiden; after a promising third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) on stable debut in June, he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and beat only one home in a similar contest at Catterick 13 days ago; first-time blinkers need to have the desired effect.

Failed to progress as a 2yo and was well held in sprint handicaps on the AW and turf for previous yard; however, he shaped nicely on his debut for this one when third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in June so now he's of more interest again.

Form & Verdict
0-11 but has shown she can win a race, doing best when headed late and a close fourth at Carlisle (6f, good) last month; outpaced in first 5f run, on this track 11 days ago, but returns to 6f in first-time cheekpieces; needs to be considered if the headgear has a positive effect.

Promising third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago and confirmed herself an improved performer with a cosy win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last week; unextended when following up at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on Thursday; 7lb higher today but she should stay and looks to have strong claims of completing her hat-trick.

0-10 but she has snippets of form that give her a squeak; last week's fifth of seven at Catterick wasn't as bad a run as the distance beaten suggests (hampered at a crucial stage) and she's not out of it.

Finished a promising third of 12 on her Redcar debut (6f, good to firm) in May last year, but then went missing for 11 months and has been well held in both starts since returning; needs the switch to a handicap and new headgear combination to bring about a resurgence.

Early signs of ability when third of 12 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 but she wasn't seen again until April, on Southwell AW, when impeded early and never entered the fray; may well need another run and will be eligible for handicaps after today.
