Runner-up over 5f on three consecutive starts, including on soft, before fading third of four in 6f Haydock novice (6f, heavy) 11 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and she holds very good form claims reverting to 5f.

Regularly placed as a 2yo but she ended that campaign with two lacklustre efforts and was again well short of her best when sixth of seven at Windsor on her return to action this month; something to prove for now.

Runner-up in five of her nine starts as a 2yo, showing her best form over 5f on fast ground; wore headgear for final four starts in 2022 and goes without today; good claims if at her best but vulnerable to an improver.

Three course wins, two over 6f, the other at 5f; this season's win was a 13-runner event at Bahrain in January (5f, good to firm); hasn't run quite as well since, but may have needed it when 5.25l tenth of 20 in the Epsom Dash last time (5f, good to soft; 66-1); a possible.

Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain.
