Form & Verdict
Signs of temperament in Ireland, where her best effort came over further, and finished her time there poorly; interesting to see how she goes in the market for her new yard, down from 1m on her Tapeta debut.

Won twice on the AW (7f/1m) in March after joining this yard; hasn't run quite so well since, although creditable third over 7f here two runs ago (good); softer going not ideal.

Had no chance of leading as he likes here last time thanks to the blindfold coming off late; may well be able to get his own way, in which case he'll have a fair chance of adding to January's two course wins.

Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard.

Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm.

Most effective at sharp tracks; justified favouritism when fending off Ideal Guest over C&D (good to firm) last July and now 5lb lower; step back in the right direction when third to Filey Beach over C&D (14-1, beaten over 2l) ten days ago; interesting to see if she can back that up.
