Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good.

0-16 but he'd gone close at 1m and did so again over 1m2f when third of 13 at Yarmouth (good; Beach Point fourth) on his reappearance last month; returning cheekpieces did little harm when second to unexposed sort over that C&D (good to firm; Beach Point third) a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts again.

0-15 but involved in some tight finishes at 1m and also over C&D recently on his second go at 1m2f (one place ahead of Beach Point); off the same mark, he should be seriously involved if the returning cheekpieces (worn on penultimate start last term, ran creditably) don't have a negative effect.
