Serial slow starter who's done most recent racing over 7f and looked to find this trip stretching her a couple of times; capable if getting away and finding the race setting up for her but she's been expensive to follow in 0-50 company latterly.

Comfortable winner of a small-field nursery at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last summer but he has mixed record since; latest 6f Lingfield third (good to firm; beaten just over 4l; reopposing stablemate Irish Dessert a head back in fourth) was a bit more encouraging but he needs to build on that now.
