Form & Verdict
Made all for impressive win in a 0-60 at Bath (5f, good; off 11lb lower) in May; inconsistent since but went back to that track on penultimate start when a close second; was found out in better company since but this is more realistic and she could have a say.

Had wind surgery prior to an encouraging effort at Goodwood and seemed out of her depth in Class 4 at Doncaster St Leger meeting since; C&D winner (off 2lb lower) last October and has possibilities back down in grade.

J: Kieran O’Neill

Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred.
