Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though.

Off the mark with a narrow 5f win at Southwell in February; placed in four runs since, most recently benefiting from the addition of blinkers when drawing clear with an improver at Southwell 11 days ago; 5lb well in as a result but stamina for 6f on slow ground has to be taken on trust.

She has improved with each of her three starts, beaten 2l into fifth in a fair novice at Southwell five weeks ago (6f); has the ability to make an impact off this opening mark but she will need to prove a bit more tractable if she's to see it out on slow turf.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the third time of asking when finding plenty for pressure in a 6f fillies' novice at Carlisle in August; less good over 7f next time and she finished down the field on her nursery debut at Pontefract when last seen; she would have finished closer there but for running into several dead ends in the straight; stable has won this in two of the last three seasons but her racing style does suggest a stiffer 6f might be optimal.
