9st 6lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

Responded well to positive rides for both wins at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack), but only fourth of seven in her hat-trick bid over this C&D last month and well held back on turf at Catterick (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; cheekpieces given a go on this return to the AW and claims if bouncing back.

Hasn't been seeing out 1m since fitted with headgear and gelded, and the drop to 7f should suit back into handicap company; he's an exposed maiden, though, and vulnerable again.

Related to winners (mainly sprinters) and offered more on his comeback, having been gelded, albeit he again started a big price and only beat one home; is worth a market check.

C&D winner in June last year and scored twice on turf (7f/1m) earlier in this campaign; just 1lb above his last winning mark, but has finished behind Serenity Rose in his last two starts over 7f here; return to 1m may suit, but others are still preferred.
