Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge.
Made all at Salisbury (7f novice, soft; 11-1) three weeks ago; it isn't easy to know exactly what to make of that - runner-up was a 400-1 shot - but, closely related to the 1m2f winner Capla Lazarus, she's open to improvement on handicap debut over 1m.
With Joseph Parr when an eyecatching fourth at Leicester (7f; 150-1) last September; produced only a fair opening effort for this trainer, but stepped up to score at Lingfield (7.5f, soft; 2-1 favourite) a fortnight later; interesting to see what he makes of handicapping now with Tom Marquand booked.
Still seeking breakthrough (0-6), going closest when third at Nottingham (8.5f, good; 4-1 favourite) in April; soft ground given as the reason for a less-convincing effort at Lingfield (1m1f; fourth of seven, 5-2 favourite) latest.
Didn't offer much on his first two starts for Donnacha O'Brien, and only marginally better when a staying-on fourth at Dundalk (1m maiden; 6-1, beaten over 12l) in February; best watched on first start for Tony Carroll; handicap debut.
