Scored three times, including over C&D, during his spell with Jim Goldie; remains in same ownership; returns from 98-day break on debut for new stable; yet to win when fresh.

Form & Verdict
Went close on reappearance last term but had ended the 2024 campaign in good form, which differs from the way she concluded 2025; not sure what to expect on seasonal debut.

On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark.

She's dropped back down to a dangerous mark but she struggled on her final three starts last season and did likewise on her reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago; a major turnaround is necessary.

Usually slowly away but his refusal to race at Newcastle in January was a first; won't mind getting back on the grass and he is proven in big-field handicaps; could go well at a price.

Usually slowly away but his refusal to race here last month was a first; ran okay over 7f here last week and capable of a big run but he is a risky proposition.
