0-16 since debut win in April 2023 but he's run well to be placed here (6f, good to soft) and at Carlisle (6f, good) on two of his last three starts; there can be hope he'll be fine now back at 5f and he could be thereabouts in first-time blinkers.

Below par the last twice and from stall two she could do with breaking better than on last month's handicap debut at Newmarket; however, she showed speed and promise in the spring on her first two starts (5f, AW/good to soft) and judged on that evidence she could be on a handy mark.
