Form & Verdict
Stepped up from her promising Kempton debut when winning narrowly here (8.6f) last September, but only fourth of seven on handicap/turf debut at Ripon (1m, good) later in month; bred to appreciate the longer trip on her return from 167 days off and respected, especially if backed.

Some ability in three turf maidens over 6f/7f on turf last year, but having been gelded he showed improvement when third of six on handicap/AW debut over C&D last month; the fourth horse has won well since and likely there is plenty more to come from him; major chance.

Raised her game again this season, including a Doncaster handicap win (1m4f, good); appeared to show improved form again in Listed race last time, which can be questioned as she was a never-dangerous sixth of seven at 25-1 but her mark is unchanged.
