The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track.

Well beaten in three novice runs but he took a big step forward to win a Wolverhampton handicap (extended 1m1f) 32 days ago; came from off the pace in a steadily run race to win on that occasion and a 2lb rise looks lenient; has to prove he can do it on turf but of major interest at this level.
