Second of six on 6f Hamilton nursery debut (soft) and it was a warm race in which she fared less well at Doncaster; ran okay on her debut here and should be in the thick of it.

Has gained both wins (AW/turf) at about 1m but recent effort suggest she's ready for a crack at 1m2f; drops back in grade off a workable mark and has a fighting chance on best form.

Similar type to Overnight Oats, having gone down by only half a length in C&D contest (good) on latest outing; raced mainly in Class 5 and now goes back up in grade but having Epsom form is a major plus; likely to perform well again; one for the shortlist.

Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf.

Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added.
