Form & Verdict
11-race maiden who has raced over longer trips for current yard in 2023, showing her best form in 7f handicaps at this track; only fifth at Ffos Las nine days ago (7.5f, soft) but it was a run that caught the eye, making a big mid-race move only for those exertions to take their toll late on; could do with being more smartly away today but a well-run 6f could suit; still has some potential at a low level.

No doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is often the architect of his own downfall, as when slowly away and meeting trouble at Bath 17 days ago; virtually refused to race at Chepstow three runs back; he'll be a danger to all if breaking on terms though.
