Made all in two 5f AW novice races at Southwell in spring; last of 12 after racing too freely in Woodcote at Epsom (6f) in early June but no surprise if he bounces back with a much better run here.

Has gained his two clearcut wins on the Tapeta at Southwell (5f); only fifth of seven at Newmarket (good to soft) in between but the form has substance and he returns to turf still unexposed.

Came from off the pace to beat Shamardia at Lingfield last month (6f; well backed) when she had reportedly been treated for ulcers; no show twice since (wide draw latest) and has something to prove again.

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last month where she was subsequently reported to have been treated for ulcers; couldn't back it up at Wolverhampton one week later and others are more appealing.

Off the mark on Polytrack last weekend, when backed in from fancy prices; that improvement was put down to having overcome ulcers and she could well be up to defying a 3lb rise.

Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.
