Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain.

Off the mark at the third time of asking when finding plenty for pressure in a 6f fillies' novice at Carlisle in August; less good over 7f next time and she finished down the field on her nursery debut at Pontefract when last seen; she would have finished closer there but for running into several dead ends in the straight; stable has won this in two of the last three seasons but her racing style does suggest a stiffer 6f might be optimal.
