All six wins have been on turf, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, good to firm) in May 2024 off a 9lb higher mark than today's; back to form when a front-running second here over 1m in June; below his best at Chester 32 days ago but he has a handy draw and is capable of bouncing back.

Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.
