Form & Verdict
Delivered on earlier promise when making all for quite convincing 6f AW nursery win in the autumn; weakened rather tamely when back in action last month but he might have needed that outing and today's drop back in trip is an interesting move.

T: George Baker

Habitual slow starter who has had major blips in two of his last three runs, but he's also won five times (1m2f-1m6f) this season including at Haydock (good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back again with Patrick Mullins booked; tongue-tie added.

T: George Baker

Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove.

Raced a bit too freely and was a shade disappointing when returned to 6f in first-time blinkers (also wore a hood, both now removed) at Lingfield (AW) a fortnight ago but went close in a 5f handicap there two starts ago and is now 1lb below that mark.

Form & Verdict
Belied 100-1 odds when second in 6f AW maiden at Wolverhampton in March and her subsequent fourth over that C&D was perfectly respectable; spolied her chance by persistently hanging right on handicap debut at Lingfield last month but has shown more than enough zip to suggest this shorter trip might suit on her turf debut.
