She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark.

9st 6lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Ian McInnes

Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid.

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go.

Form & Verdict
Proved suited by the drop to 5f at Southwell when last seen, making a successful AW debut; only 1-18 on turf but is unexposed at this trip and still looks favourably treated (peak mark was 8lb higher); respected.

Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove.

All three wins have come over 5f including here (good) in August; stays this far and handles soft ground but remains 4lb higher than for that latest success so a bit more is needed; stable also runs Canaria Queen.

Similar type to Project Dante in that the removal of blinkers is a possible negative; gained both 2024 wins in that headgear; this looks a tougher assignment to boot.

Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off.

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove.

Form & Verdict
Listed winner early in French career; far from solid on his form (mostly AW) for current stable and, generally speaking, has regressed; drops further in class on this return to turf.

Placed over C&D in November and December and now 5lb lower than for both those efforts; he hasn't beaten a rival in his last two starts but not out of the question that he'll bounce back.
