Lightly raced 7yo; added to her AW bumper win when landing a 1m6f handicap here last month (well backed and won decisively) but she couldn't sustain her effort over 2m at Southwell (weakened into fourth having travelled very strongly) last time; dropping in trip could prove beneficial.

His sole win from 22 starts was at Ripon (1m2f) in September 2021 but he's well treated on his best form and was beaten less than 2l at Southwell (1m3f) last time; looks closely matched with International Law on that form and he has possibilities.
