Faded into sixth over C&D nine days ago but that was a fair run given she worked hard from the widest stall to get the early lead; has a better berth today in stall four and no surprise to see a bold show.

Five-time turf winner who is 1-15 on AW; went very close off a higher mark at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in June but that was in a small field and she's lost her way in last two starts; others are more convincing.

Turf winner for Andrew Balding as a 2yo; failed to win in 16 starts for Phil Makin but twice finished second on Tapeta and dropped 22lb in the weights; picked up by shrewd connections for 7,000gns in October and he's a fascinating contender on his stable debut.
