8st 9lb

J: Duran Fentiman

T: Daragh Bourke

Made it 3-6 since joining Daragh Bourke when winning at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) ten days ago, when she idled in front and was value for more than the 0.75l winning margin; went close over 16.2f at Newcastle previously; she might still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb for last time; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

1m4f AW winner in January off 4lb lower; went close two runs back (1m5f) and could have done with a truer gallop when third upped to 2m back at Newcastle; slow ground and blinkers (replacing visor) are firsts but commands respect.

Gained a breakthrough success at Newcastle (1m4f) in January; back from five months off in good nick, though seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifth of eight at Nottingham (1m2f) 12 days ago; remains unexposed over this trip so very much one to consider.
