Ended a losing run over 1m4f here in July; below par fitted with cheekpieces both subsequent runs, and she came in last of nine in 1m2f Epsom handicap 19 days ago; headgear is discarded now so could bounce back.

Exploited reduced mark when justifying favouritism at Bath (extended 1m3f, firm) in July; that was a Class 6 and with cheekpieces back on she failed to fire at Chester (third there before); probably worth taking on.

Form & Verdict
Triple course winner, including on firm and over this trip; placed over 1m2f here on his reappearance, when 1lb higher in May; probably too free at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) latest but will be an each-way player if able to settle better.

Raced mainly on turf, winning five times off lower marks; best efforts this term when runner-up twice at Bath; chance back on AW partly depends on the effects of first-time tongue-tie.
