Of serious interest on last season's best form for William Haggas; yet to fire for David O'Meara but her latest run at Leicester can be ignored as she was trapped against the rail for most of the final 2f; fine on good ground but unraced on slower.

Sole appearance here resulted in breakthrough win over this trip back in 2023; no subsequent wins until he rewarded good support at Ripon (1m) last May then went back-to-back over that C&D (also good) the following month; proved a disappointing favourite back at Ripon when last seen 443 days ago; heed the market signals on this comeback/stable debut.
