Little improvement in her five races but she was second of seven in a handicap at Epsom (1m4f, soft) last time, when first equipped with blinkers; up 2lb and needs to build on that performance.

Well suited by soft/heavy in his first two starts switched to cheekpieces, latterly winning easily off 7lb lower in a small field at Ffos Las (1m2f) when he saw the trip out very well; respectable third on Newcastle AW on latest outing; 1m4f had not previously looked a help (two attempts) but that was on fast ground in other headgear; interesting.
