Held form well without proving especially progressive to make the frame on all 4 starts at 2 yrs. Produced an improved effort to win a 7-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on comeback last month and with that form working out well, he should go close to following up on handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSalisbury6f 213yGood to FirmFlat1/7Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat4/9Newmarket (rowley)1mGoodFlat3/7Salisbury6f 213yGoodFlat2/9Thirsk7fSoftFlat2/8- 5(4)Mighty VegaJ: Christian HowarthT: Scott Dixon5218221Age 34/1

In fine form on polytrack at Lingfield this spring, successful in March and runner-up on 2 other occasions before finding a bit more improvement to record a first success on turf in a 7-runner handicap there (7f, good) 11 days ago. Well positioned last time but merits respect from just 3 lb higher.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat2/11Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat2/10Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat8/12Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat1/10- 6(3)Lyra LeaJ: George WoodT: Rod Millman21873-4Age 39/2

Made fourth start a winning one on the all-weather at Lingfield in last August (7f). Returned from 7 months off with a career-best fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 25/1) 19 days ago and she's respected back down in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton1m 142yStandardFlat4/7Goodwood7fGoodFlat3/10Goodwood7fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat7/14Haydock Park6f 212yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/8Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat1/8- 4(6)AigeasJ: Finley MarshT: Oliver Cole18-0Age 315/215/27/1

Won a newcomers race on polytrack at Deauville (6.5f) last October and might have been unsuited by very testing ground when well held in a listed race on turf back in France 17 days later. Disappointing in a Leicester novice on comeback, so must bounce back now in handicapping in hood/tongue tie.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester6fGoodFlat11/13Saint-cloud6f 211yHeavyFlat8/11Deauville6f 102yStandardFlat1/7- 3(2)Island BearJ: Luke MorrisT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole236-75Age 39/19/110/1

Fair maiden proved consistent without really progressing at 2 yrs and has looked reasonably well summed up his early handicap marks so far this season, most recently when fifth of 9 at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Application of blinkers will need to garner improvement.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNottingham1m 75yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/9Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat7/7Goodwood7fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat6/12Salisbury6f 213yGood to FirmFlat3/5Haydock Park6f 212yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/5- 1(5)ElectricalJ: Joe LeavyT: Brian Toomey184-7Age 318/122/120/1

Surprise winner on debut at Newbury (6f) last summer but couldn't build on that faced with more testing conditions on return there (1m) in late-October. Ran no sort of race on her return from 6 months off in a Haydock handicap 42 days ago and has plenty to prove at present.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 37yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/8Newbury1m 1ySoftFlat4/10Doncaster7f 6yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/8Newbury6fGood to FirmFlat1/6- 7(1)Ebn SabtJ: Gina ManganT: Ben Lund2-31467Age 320/1

Won at Lingfield in February for William Muir & Chris Grassick but off the boil for that yard after and has something to prove now starting out for new connections.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 13yStandardFlat7/9Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat6/9Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat4/4Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat1/7Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat3/7
