Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement.

J: Paul O’Brien

Some ability in defeat on the Flat; similar sort of form in his first three completed runs over hurdles before running no race last time at Haydock; handled soft on the Flat but now gets the chance to show what he can do on very different ground (soft or heavy so far over hurdles) and it coincides with his handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Raced only on good/firmer; has form figures of 41112 in handicaps (7.5f/1m); however, lacks recent match practice (absent for eight months) and goes into the unknown over this new trip on forecast slow ground.

Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off.
