Form & Verdict
Picked up unraced out of Roger Varian's yard for 11,000gns in February; showed definite ability when placed in 7f maiden/novice events on turf at the end of the summer, keeping on despite hanging left under pressure at Redcar latterly; could have more to offer, particularly if a hood helps her to settle better (raced keenly both starts).

Beaten favourite at Windsor recently (6f, good to firm), though had a tricky draw and endured a wide trip; all things considered, it was a solid run; won't mind rain, either.

0-4 since returning from one-year absence for new stable in the autumn but her AW fourth in January was quite encouraging and she was unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target on last month's turf return; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Had two outings in autumn 2021, showing a fair level of ability when sixth of 12 over 7f at Kempton on debut; absent for 442 days but potentially significant that connections have kept hold of him and he returns in an ordinary race; major player if strong in the market.
