Form & Verdict
Suited by 1m4f and a sound surface, four wins include 2022 Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes (on seasonal return) and Windsor Listed last summer; runs well fresh so lack of a recent run of no concern and likely to have his ground; big player.

Form & Verdict
Looked nice prospect when readily beating Thunder Roll in 1m2f maiden here last August and bit unlucky not to confirm that form on seasonal return in 1m4f Cork Listed last month, not much luck in a tactical affair when staying on best at finish; remains unexposed with likely more to offer and could make her presence felt here.
