Form & Verdict
Soon in a clear lead and perhaps stole a four-runner race at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, belatedly opening his account; however, he backed up that performance with a clear second at Carlisle (1m6f, soft) a fortnight later and remains well handicapped on some of last year's form.

Two wins this spring, latterly when making all to score by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; safely held when making the frame on next two outings (2m/2m1f) but still enters calculations.

Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) eight days ago; 6lb higher in much more competitive race here but won't mind if the ground is much slower.

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Won two 3m hurdles last autumn but has lost her way over jumps this year and was well beaten here (1m4f) when back on the Flat a fortnight ago, after a wind op; this longer trip ought to suit better but it still takes a leap of faith to support her.
