She has slipped to a good mark now and there have been more promising signs from her the last twice, finishing a close fourth over this trip in March and shaping as though in better form than the result suggests over 6f last week (ran quite quickly through the mid-part of the race and tied up in the final furlong); could go well at a price.

Handy sort who can be a bit in-and-out, but three of his five wins have come over C&D and he has dropped 2lb lower than for his latest success at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) last November; sports headgear for the first time on his 58th start and a major player if he reacts positively to it.
