Finally off the mark in amateurs' event here (1m2f, good to soft) in June and went in again at Leicester (1m2f, good; runner-up has won twice since) on latest start; rarely seen on soft (placed twice); probably stays 1m4f; in-form candidate who has to be taken seriously under a leading amateur.

Both his wins (31 starts) were on soft, the latest off 4lb higher in August 2021 in first-time blinkers; kept that headgear until a poor show last month prompted the return of cheekpieces at Yarmouth on Tuesday, where he was straight back on song to take second; major each-way claims if all's well with the quick turnaround.

Runner-up on Kempton AW last time but that was over 7f; no impact beyond 8.6f and no worthwhile form in his two runs on softer than good.

Usually seen over further than this with his only AW success coming over 2m; 18lb below his last winning mark, but recent efforts don't suggest he is ready to take advantage; visor the headgear of choice this time.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a couple of AW handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) in summer 2020; soft ground may be a problem and she's not been since since wind surgery in January 2021, but David Dunsdon's return catches the eye.

Maiden but she was placed off much higher marks than this on AW Flat in 2020; also runner-up in a jumpers' bumper in January 2021; has offered little in two hurdles since returning from an absence but can't dismiss back on the Flat given she is well handicapped; cheekpieces on first time.

Useful in the autumn of 2020 for Neil King, winning three mares' races, but winless on the Flat this year and well held on her return to hurdling at Cheltenham (100-1) three weeks ago; on the back burner for now.
