Off since encouraging 6f run last June; bred to stay this trip and further; more to come

Promise amidst inexperience on debut last September (7f); lots more to come this year

Leading form claims and the return to 7f should suit; likely to be in the thick of it

Tapped for pace at a crucial stage on debut but shaped well; can take a good step forward

Promising debut but stopped very quickly having raced freely latest; now hooded; risky
