Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb.

Made it 2-4 with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month on second handicap start and good second at Sandown (1m2f, good) subsequently, form that has been franked by the third; he's a 3yo on the up and could well play another leading role if conditions suit (unraced on fast ground).

He's been running well in defeat this summer, bumping into a very unexposed Godolphin winner when 7l second of five under Sorin Moldoveanu on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to firm) last month; close third in this last year and there is every chance that he will be in the mix.
