Maiden who didn't look to see out an extended 1m last time; is exposed now and an easy 7f may prove too far the other way but she starts handicap life at a sensible level.

Off the mark on turf when readily seeing off nine rivals in a 7.5f Class 6 handicap at Lingfield (good to firm) last month; third under a penalty five days later when the ground may have gone against her; another career best required to defy this mark though.

Form & Verdict
Has two wins and four very near-misses to his name from 11 runs over C&D after landing a 0-50 last time; the outside stall isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end, though, and this is stronger upped 5lb.

Not as good as he was and, while still consistent, has only won one of his last 28 starts; has only run on Polytrack once, when well held, and an easy 7f such as this is a minimum now but this is easier than he's used to.
