Form & Verdict
Appeared to appreciate the return to 7f when supported and scoring over C&D on her first start for this trainer in August; not far off that level of form when up 3lb and a 2l second back over C&D latest; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Raced prominently when a 7f turf winner on his final start for James Fanshawe at Leicester (good to soft) in June; went close on Polytrack when 1lb higher at Lingfield in January, so has the ability to get involved if shrugging off a lesser effort here (6f) latest.
