Attractively treated, having gained all wins off current mark or higher; has rather lacked consistency this year but holds a good chance provided he turns up in top form.

Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back.

Poorly drawn when down the field over C&D when last seen in October; prior to that she had won well in first-time blinkers at Redcar and she remains of interest from a handicapping perspective.

Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f; 10-1, from a 2lb lower mark) early in the New Year, having regularly caught the eye here prior; no obvious excuses when fourth over C&D latest (14-1); others more appealing.

Prevailed at Beverley (good) last time, recording a first win away from Catterick and first over 5f; proved suited by the belated drop back in distance and may remain competitive; close second in this race in 2023.

All three wins at Catterick (has never run here before); below par both starts this season, but last month's sixth at Redcar was a clear step forward and he's not ruled out from a falling mark.

He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt with a front-running Wetherby success 11 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); the runner-up has since won easily (pair clear) and the Topspeed figure was good for the grade; should go well despite her 6lb rise.
