Progressed in AW handicaps, opening his account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month, before a lesser show on turf debut at Bath (1m2f, firm) four days later; may be able to resume his improvement on AW.

Evidently well suited by step up to 1m2f when keeping on well to score at Lingfield last month and now 2-5 in handicaps; might still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously.

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Off the mark on second handicap start, when returned to 7f on Chelmsford AW, but she couldn't hack it on turf next time and her recent seventh at Wolverhampton (about 1m; first-time visor, discarded) was no better; her golden pedigree suggests she is worth a go over this extra distance, though.

Successful at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January and June; wide trip perhaps contributed to form-dip there last time; record gives mixed signals regarding this return to 1m2f, so others look safer.

Just one win from 16 starts; gave it a good go from the front at Yarmouth (1m2f) when ultimately reeled in by a Prescott handicapper; won't mind returning to 1m but she's 4lb higher than last time; still has stronger claims than many.
