Form & Verdict
Found some trouble in running when bidding for a hat-trick and bounced straight back to finish second in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket; only 1lb higher and dropped back in grade, so has to be of interest; fine on good or good to soft.

Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 3yo who showed initial promise and got back on track with a fourth at Sandown (1m1f, good to firm), giving the impression that returning to further would suit; gets a chance to confirm that impression here.

Won twice over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in December and certainly stayed this new trip okay when going close at Chelmsford last time; has yet to prove herself as effective on grass but this is only her third turf start; respected.

Losing run now up to 15 and she has slid down the weights during an inconsistent season; capable still at this level but she's odds-on to pull hard and has had issues at the stalls of late, so isn't without risk.

Emphatic winner of this race 12 months ago and followed up on her return the following month; those wins were off 2lb and 8lb higher marks respectively so handicapped to threaten if able to rediscover some form with the headgear (sported for last three runs) now removed.
