Made it 3-4 for the season and bounced back from heavy defeat at Glorious Goodwood with 10l win in small field over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; 10lb higher in a hotter race today but could still be ahead of the handicapper; showed promise on good to soft going last October.

Promise in defeat last season; won a Ripon novice by 7l in May (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and followed up in a three-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; one of her rivals lost all chance at the start); it's hard to rate that form highly and she's 6lb higher, but this well-related filly could have a whole lot more to offer for shrewd connections.

20-1 winner on her seasonal debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May; beaten 10l by a rapid improver at Salisbury one month ago but her pedigree strongly points to this extra furlong unlocking a better effort.

Hooded in three juvenile starts but not as 3yo, returning with a quite convincing win on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) from one who won either side of that race; unable to improve on that at Newmarket next time when 7lb higher but she was tight for room at one stage and still has potential.

Doubled his tally for the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best both runs since however, coming in a well-held fourth of six at Salisbury (6f) last time; needs to get back on track.

Added to an earlier Windsor win when beating three rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; ran respectably in a less competitive C&D race than this in May but a tendency to get behind early is a worry in this big field and he's 3lb badly in under a penalty.

Won two of her first three starts as a juvenile and also went close in a 6f AW handicap in November off today's mark; however, this season is proving more complicated and she was said never to have travelled over 5f at Newmarket recently; now goes in cheekpieces with work to do.
