Won debut (5f, good to soft) last July; not so good in her four runs since, never able to challenge over 6f this spring in her two handicaps; something to prove even if pedigree suggests 7f should not be a problem.

Debut effort at Thirsk last summer (5f, good to soft) was full of promise; off the track for six months prior to her return at Newcastle 26 days ago, where she weakened tamely in the closing stages having been weak in the betting; too soon to write her off given that debut promise and she could be sharper with the Newcastle spin behind her.

His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out.
