Off the mark at the 15th attempt when making all under Lewis Chalkley in an Ayr apprentice handicap (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; 4lb well in and dropping in trip shouldn't be a problem, but whether she will be allowed her own way again is debatable.

Turned things around with a rallying win on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and he backed that up with a good second from wide draw at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); remains well handicapped on his best form and he's a key player on this drop back in trip.
