Has continued to progress since switching to turf handicaps with a hood fitted, following up her narrow Yarmouth success (1m2f, good to firm) in April with a second of nine at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last month (met traffic); subsequent wins by the first and fourth give the Ascot form substance and she is 2lb well in; holds major claims.

Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over.

Always towards the rear on reappearance over C&D (good) three weeks ago but may have needed that run; won twice last summer (1m/1m2f, good; including here) and he's on a competitive mark on last autumn's form (including on soft ground); he can be in the mix if bouncing back.
