Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained.

Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf.

Form & Verdict
Well held on his Wolverhampton debut (7f, Tapeta) last December but showed more at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month, keeping on for third of nine following a slow start; dam's side of pedigree suggests this may be more his trip and no surprise if he steps up again.

Six seconds and two thirds from her eight races; best of those was in a handicap at the York Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but she was turned over at long odds-on in a maiden on latest, which has to prompt some caution despite that being her AW debut.

0-6 but in the first three every time (including on fast ground), most recently third of 12 in Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m, good); by Arc winner Sottsass so the step up in trip could be a positive move; chance.

Second of 11 on her Tipperary debut (5f, yielding to soft) in May and third of seven on her first start for this yard at Ripon (1m2f, good) last month; this trip may suit her better and she is closely related to a French AW winner, but improvement will be required.

Runner-up in sole start in Ireland (5f, soft) in May but she's not gone on from that and was tailed off on recent handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f, heavy); still early days but she needs a transformation back in trip.
