J: Marco Ghiani

Dual turf winner at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) this season; lost third to Kurious Lady in closing stages at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago but that still goes down as a good run; can make another bold bid from the front.

Ex-Ed Dunlop maiden; two fair runs over hurdles and not a bad effort on the AW for her current yard last summer, and the market should tell a tale back from the best part of a year off.

Form & Verdict
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D last summer and followed up in the same race 12 days ago; not always consistent and is no certainty to back it up, going without cheekpieces this time, but holds major claims under Billy Loughnane.

Often inclined to pull hard, under both codes, which is something to bear in mind as he goes beyond 1m4f for the first time; otherwise, he'll rightly be popular under Billy Loughnane, having won well over hurdles early in the month.
