J: Hayley Turner

T: Andrew Balding

Two good wins at 1m4f in 2023, impressing on this track (good) and just scraping home at Ascot (good to soft) in October; effective over C&D but he lacks a recent run and his time is more likely to come when back up in trip; hood refitted for the first time in 12 months.

Form & Verdict
Beaten in her first 15 races but has won her last two, over 1m4f at Brighton (by 5.5l) and Catterick (just under a length); 1lb well in last time so now 6lb higher with her penalty but something has evidently clicked.
