Brings good stats as he's 2-3 since wearing cheekpieces and gained those wins over C&D (good/good to firm) to take his Epsom record to 2311; respected in the retained headgear.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month but he finished ninth of 12 in his follow-up bid at Brighton; now drops back in grade but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached.

Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair.

Caught the eye when runner-up in a C&D maiden (debut) in January but she's failed to better that since; weakened when third of four in a modest Bath novice (1m, good to firm; 11-2) six weeks ago; still low mileage but more is needed on handicap debut.

Has shown some promise on AW but she was a remote fourth of five on turf debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) in June; still lightly raced and cheekpieces are added after a short break, but she needs to leave that latest form well behind.

Continuing to improve at the gentlest of rates despite usually getting something wrong, be that breaking slowly, racing lazily or (latest) refusing to settle; switch to turf and step up to 1m1f ask fresh questions.
