Made most for Listed win at Saint-Cloud last October and reappeared this May with a respectable Listed second in France, both 1m2f on soft; won over 1m3f in 2024 and she now looks worth a crack at 1m4f; first, though, she needs to bounce back after tailing off in an AW Group 3 (20-1) eight weeks ago.

Listed winner at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, soft) last October and reappeared with respectable Listed second in France (1m2f, soft) last month; has run well here in the past, but this 5yo's form needs to go to a new level today if she's to come out on top.

Can make the running; four handicap wins last year and she looked back to her best when a close fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; favourite) on latest outing, possibly playing her cards too soon; all turf starts have been on softer than good; may well be set for another bold show.

Successful handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October and returned to that sort of level when late interference cost him a higher placing at Windsor (1m3f, soft); can be headstrong but the ability is there to have some say.

Form & Verdict
He was a fair third of six on recent handicap and stable debut over 1m2f at Haydock (good to firm; Yippee runner-up) and, having hung left on that turf debut, the first-time cheekpieces could be a positive here; considered.

Yet to threaten and was no match for the first two when third of six on handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; could also do with settling better now upped further in trip but this lightly raced 3yo is well bred and in top hands, and could take a big step forward at some stage; first-time cheekpieces join the tongue-tie adopted last time.

Settling has been an issue and he was always behind when 25-1 in 1m novice at Nottingham last time; needs improvement on this handicap debut but his dam was a useful 1m winner who stayed 1m4f and a tongue-tie is added; from a leading yard and worth a market check.
