Came well clear with the favourite (subsequent winner) on her 7f debut here a month ago; wouldn't be bred for sprinting and will need to improve a good bit if she's to defy a penalty.

Last October's short-head second to last week's Group 2 winner Sumo Sam can only give her leading claims, but this is deeper than a lot of late-season novices and she has a long absence to overcome; interesting to see how she goes in the market.

Promise as a 3yo for Michael Bell, including a wide-margin maiden win at Lingfield (5f, AW); showed he could be competitive off this sort of mark in November 2023 but he has been absent since a disappointing run 500 days ago; gelded/changed yard since and the addition of a hood looks a good move; the absence aside, the return to turf is a concern as he was well beaten in two previous attempts.

Off the mark (11th attempt) when overcoming a wide draw at Kempton (7f classified) in February and he returned from a break with a close third at Chester (7.6f, good) last Friday; that was a bold bid from the front and he's a key player on this drop back in trip and grade.
