Sole win from 14 starts came at Thirsk (6f nursery; good to soft) in September 2024; she has been in decent form this year though, runner-up to Keldeo over C&D (Class 5 fillies') in April and pipped on the post in an added visor at Wolverhampton (6f; 13-8 favourite) latest; 2lb higher.

All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive.
