Made the breakthrough when scrambling home in Catterick maiden in May and he broke his handicap duck with another neck success at Leicester (also 7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he might be capable of better.

Scored twice over 7f last summer and continued in good form in AW handicaps in the winter; back from a 170-day layoff here though (cheekpieces added) so needs to hit the ground running.

Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list.

Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good.

Frankel filly who took a step forward on her handicap debut when second (for the third time) of eight at Leicester (6f) in May, coming home clear of her group; up 2lb but has more to offer and can gain a deserved first win.

Consistent on the AW (33521341) and not so good on turf, which makes it possible to forgive his last three efforts; not quite sure what to expect on his debut for another new yard and the market may help.
