Scored on stable debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) in July and was placed on consecutive outings last month (2m/2m2f); not yet proven on ground slower than good to soft but, otherwise, her claims are pretty solid.

Well placed to find three contests since July, including under Kai Lenihan at Taunton and here (C&D, good to soft) the last twice; new mark does demand more and sole run on softer than good to soft was her worst ever, but can't deny she's thriving right now. |

Twice went close on good ground last month (3m2f/3m; wore cheekpieces) and was very respectable fourth of 15 when dropped back to 2m here (good to soft; first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; evidently in good nick but his career strike-rate is now 0-22 and others in this field have more potential. |
