Improved from his debut effort at Lingfield in June when second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) later in month; that form nothing special though and a 143-day absence tempers enthusiasm.

Often placed before getting off the mark in a C&D novice in January; two 6f handicap runs since returning from a three-month break have been underwhelming; back up in trip and down in class so there could be a bigger effort forthcoming.

Form & Verdict
Beaten six times already but she's shown promise, running right up to her best when third of eight in a Newcastle nursery three weeks ago (5f; RPR 72); 6f should be fine at this track and set to run well but could prove vulnerable to something more progressive.
