In the frame on all four starts last season, including on final outing when fourth over C&D (good; 11-10 favourite, form worked out well); creditable second on AW on reappearance last month (first run after wind op and after being gelded); chance on handicap debut.
Strong puller; two fair runs on first two starts last term (both over 6f) but hampered after pulling hard when only sixth of 10 over C&D on final start (good); hood tried on handicap debut.
Won a Carlisle fillies' maiden (5f, soft) on third of nine runs as a juvenile (also runner-up in a 6f Pontefract nursery); below par on reappearance; well drawn but best form on softer ground.
Best run when third in a Thirsk maiden last August (6f, good); fair fourth on handicap debut at Newcastle in November (6f); interesting from his good draw on first try at 5f.
Won a Nottingham nursery off a 6lb lower mark in November (5f, soft); close fourth on Catterick reappearance (5f, good; fifth won next time); a possible, although fast ground a slight concern.
Promise without winning last term, including when third in a 5f AW nursery on final start; fair reappearance run at Catterick but was over 2l behind Jeany May who is only 1lb worse off; not well drawn.
In the frame on all six starts as a 2yo, including a creditable third over C&D (good to firm); stable has made a fine start to the turf season and she could go well, but stall 10 not ideal.
Good third of eight in a Thirsk maiden on debut last term (5f, good); didn't really build on that and was behind a couple of these on his reappearance run at Catterick.
Won a Musselburgh nursery last August (5f, good) and creditable second off 10lb higher mark on AW next time; not so good since, including on reappearance when behind two of today's rivals; well drawn; quite interesting with cheekpieces now tried.
