Defied a 700-day absence when off the mark in emphatic style in a similar contest at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 20-1) ten days ago; 5lb penalty won't stop him if in the same form, but a worry that this race may come soon enough.

Form & Verdict
0-13, but has run with credit to finish fourth in her last three starts over 8.6f-1m2f (not far behind Miss Sligo on penultimate outing); up in trip, but there is plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she has been shaping as though she would appreciate a stiffer test; interesting.
