Has done well in a visor for his new yard and he added to his Kempton win (2m) last summer when rallying well for a last-gasp success here (1m6f, good) last week; up 3lb but he pulled 6l clear with the runner-up last time and is a big player again back up in trip.

Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained.

All six of her wins came on turf, the last three over 1m6f; she hasn't won since September 2023, however, and was beaten 22l over C&D (good) on her reappearance in May; will need to have derived plenty of benefit from that.
