No wins on the Flat since 2020 but it was her best Flat run for some time when narrowly denied over 2m here in January (struggled over timber since); up 2lb but her best form had been at this trip previously and she's one to consider.

Ran some fair races over staying trips on turf last year and good bit lower in the ratings now; second over 2m at Dundalk in January and, after a break, decent fifth over inadequate trip back there last month; probably not up to winning in this grade.

Form & Verdict
Took 15 runs to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back C&D wins; quite possible that there's more to come if he can settle better and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again.
