Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same.

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high.

Form & Verdict
Improved upon debut when 100-1 and beating two home at York (6f, good) latest; neither her sire nor her dam ever raced over a trip this short, so perhaps the drop back won't play to her strengths.

0-10 and she's been some way below form in AW handicaps in her last three starts; 1m seemed to stretch her at Southwell last time but mark has bottomed out now and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on.

Form & Verdict
Raced freely on debut when not devoid of promise but beating just one home at Ayr (5f, good to soft) last month; took a backward step at Thirsk (5f, soft) latest, when again failing to settle; probably best watched but may still have a place hope.

Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates.
