Returned to winning ways at Pontefract (1m, good) last month and found a surge of improvement to follow up by 7l against 13 runners at Redcar (1m, good to firm); he's 11lb higher than last time and in a higher grade but it remains to be seen where his limitations now lie; unraced on slow ground.

Blew the start at Carlisle 13 days ago, so possible to forgive that, and is just 1lb higher than when winning at Thirsk (1m, good) in April; this stiff mile should suit her well and one of the more interesting ones.

Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark.

Last four wins have been over C&D, including when he was switched to this headgear nine days ago and got up close home to register his best show this season (The New Bay Pearl fourth); back up 3lb but still well treated on 2025 form; has to be in serious calculations.

Won two of her first three starts as a juvenile but she went off the boil in the autumn and has been disappointing this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago; declining mark and a visor is given a whirl but only market support would make her of interest.
