Ran respectably when sixth of six, beaten just over 9l, in warm maiden over C&D (good to firm) last month on his second start; could take another step forward today and he has an each-way chance.

Form & Verdict

Despite being outpaced she ran out a comfortable winner on debut at Ayr (7f, good) last August; disappointing on sole run since, at Kempton (1m, AW) last October, but she retains potential and this sort of trip may well be right up her street; could have a big part to play.
