The winner of four of her six starts, notably a dominant effort in a Class 3 handicap at Goodwood four weeks ago; ran poorly behind Rumstar in a Group 3 at Sandown on her penultimate start but that run shouldn't be used as the evidence she can't make her mark at this level.

Successful debut over 6f but improved form at 5f since, winning her first two starts at the trip (AW/good) before going out like a light in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; had earlier been taken out of a race on the latter ground and presumably wouldn't want it to dry out much; remains of interest, though.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in these cheekpieces on AW for current yard, going close over 6f at Kempton recently; needs to transfer his improvement back to grass and his best turf efforts came on soft/heavy ground, but this stiff 5f could suit and he might not be far away.

Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights.

He was a very difficult ride on turf on his first two runs but gelded afterwards and has been a vastly different proposition on AW since November, winning twice (5f) and posting a good third on handicap debut at Southwell (5f) last month after a break; has a chance if just as good on turf.

Recent rain is a tonic with his 2yo wins having come on good to soft and soft; slow start for this stable and he was again well beaten in a Racing League event at Yarmouth five weeks ago when encountering soft ground again; he was poorly drawn there though and did best of the three who stayed near side; has a dangerous mark and stable is going well.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the sixth attempt in Southwell handicap (5f, AW) in January and gelded since; unproven on turf and from 4lb out of the handicap today he's 10lb higher than last time, but represents last year's winning yard and his pedigree provides optimism he'll be capable of better still.
