Habitual slow starter who has had major blips in two of his last three runs, but he's also won five times (1m2f-1m6f) this season including at Haydock (good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back again with Patrick Mullins booked; tongue-tie added.

Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove.

Form & Verdict
Has shown ability and put up her best effort yet when beaten less than a length into second of 17 in a Leicester nursery (6f, good) this month; has been put up 4lb for that latest performance so she will need to improve a bit more in order to go one better on AW debut.
