Two wins last summer, including one over C&D, and got back to winning ways at Bath (1m, firm) eight days ago; was already due a 2lb drop then so is just 3lb higher under her penalty (1lb well in); one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Blinkers fitted for both starts in 3yo only handicaps; went down narrowly at Salisbury (7f) then powered home to score readily over C&D; highly likely has more to offer and can defy a 7lb rise taking on mostly older horses.

Won in a first-time visor (retained since) over C&D (good to firm) in July and followed up at Sandown (1m, good); flopped at Ripon (1m, good) last month and needs to bounce back, but he's had a break since and retains potential for his top yard; no surprise if he plays a leading role.

Progressive since fitted with headgear and switched to handicaps, winning three times and second twice from five attempts; had next-time-out scorers behind in second/third when gaining latest win at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago and a further 6lb rise seems unlikely to prevent a bold bid from this improving 3yo.

Winner of one of her three C&D starts, when making all last month (good; acts on soft), but her race was run from a long way out when going unpenalised next time; not weighted out of it despite going back up 5lb and has had a longer break between races this time; can be involved.

Won the last time she contested a Class 5 (made all over this trip at Newmarket last October); first taste of slow ground when showing good bit more than on Lingfield reappearance at Goodwood 19 days ago; claims if taking another step forward for all she faces competition for the lead from Sant Alessio.
