Made giant strides for Tony Carroll last season, winning four times (three of them at Bath); confirmed her affinity for Bath, as well as the fact that she had done well over the winter, when short-headed in a Bath Listed race on Easter Sunday (5f, good); 15lb well in on this return to handicap company; obvious chance.

Two 6f wins on AW this year and a good fourth of 16 at Ascot (good to firm) in May, finding plenty in the closing stages, showed he can be competitive off this mark; stayed 7f well enough at York since and gelded after; a stiffer test at 6f might be preferable but the strong pace will suit.

Short-priced favourite when obliging on handicap debut (6f, AW) in March; things didn't work out so well at Lingfield (also 6f, AW) next time when never nearer than at the line and allowances can be made for a Kempton defeat in June; more to prove back on turf for the first time since debut.

Went off the rails in 2024 following a C&D win (good) last July but he's out of the tunnel now, following a Newmarket win with a ready one at Haydock (both 6f; good to firm and good); back up a total of 10lb but he's made his mark in handicaps off higher marks than this in the past; every chance of the hat-trick.
