Well suited by this C&D and ran well here last month when finding only an in-form rival too strong; blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Bath four weeks ago though and too much to prove after that.

C&D winner off 2lb lower last summer; no impact in first two starts this season but she caught the eye with her strong-finishing fourth back here (cheekpieces added) last month; was beaten less than 2l in that race and she's a big player if she can build on it; has raced exclusively on on good/good to firm on turf.

Some creditable efforts since November, including a close second at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January, but he hasn't really fired in his last two starts; losing run is now up to 22 and he needs first-time blinkers to make a difference.
