Made all when winning ordinary 6f Redcar maiden (good); has share of weight in handicaps but this looks more suitable than two previous attempts and has been dropped 2lb for recent Newmarket defeat; thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Useful close third in a race that worked out well over 5f here in July (good); ran up against an unexposed one at Pontefract since, then lost his chance at the start at Sandown 13 days ago; slight query about the return to 6f but has potential at this level on the July run.

No match for the eased-down Glorious Angel over 6f at Redcar in May but at least it was a step in the right direction; however, she didn't show to advantage on handicap debut at Pontefract in July; has something to prove.

Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution.
