Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player.

Typically lost ground at the start over C&D 24 days ago but came through to win under Oisin Orr; there may be enough pace in here, with the likes of Shazani, to set it up for the closers but 5lb rise demands more.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.

Prominent racer; close second at Newcastle (6f) last month but he failed to back it up at Southwell three weeks ago; all his best efforts have come on a straight course so perhaps can be given the benefit of the doubt for last time; one of two runners for the stable; not discounted.
