Turned over a 1-12 shot in Chepstow maiden (5f, good) last August but she's finished down the field in two handicaps since; still lightly raced and wasn't beaten far on her Nottingham reappearance last month but others are more convincing.

Inclined to pull hard upped to 6f last time, when cracking late, but is clearly the one to beat on his previous 5f efforts, including round similarly undulating Leicester; there won't be any excuses today in first-time headgear.

Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run.

All runs over sprint trips, showing best form when second in a 5f maiden at Leicester in July; some encouragement for this trip on pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping.

17-race maiden; not beaten far when third of five at Chepstow (5f, good) last month but that form is very tricky to evaluate (36-rated winner beat 1-12 favourite), and he's untested on ground slower than good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Finished a remote last of three on her 7f Brighton debut in the spring, when inclined to pull hard (despite wearing a hood) and going off too hard in front; is a live candidate for the forecast spot, though, for a yard enjoying a decent spell; upset in stalls and withdrawn on AW in June.

No improvement for the switch to handicaps here last week (6f, good to soft) but she showed speed and perhaps this sharper test will help; not a solid option all the same.
