Won a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) in January and finished a close third of 11 in a handicap at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March, but his two efforts since returning from a gelding operation in June leave something to be desired; needs a turnaround in the first-time hood.

This ten-race maiden has been operating below her best for Phil Kirby and Adrian Nicholls this summer but has rejoined Jane Chapple-Hyam, for whom she was runner-up off 11lb higher over 6f at Southwell last December; her stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (faded on previous attempt) but a market move would very much bring her into the reckoning.
