9st 8lb |
Won over C&D (good) last April and landed a summer hat-trick (5f/6f, good/good to firm); this is her first run since and she returns having had a wind op; every chance she'll have more to offer this year and she could play a leading role if okay on the ground (unproven on a slow surface). |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 6f on slow ground; has form figures of 121 since returned to turf this spring, the latest success at Hamilton, and looks better than ever; big player under 5lb penalty provided she's as effective back at 7f. |

1st 2 (2) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Two wins last season included one over C&D and she has hit the ground running since returned to turf last month, winning easily at Redcar (6f, soft) and going down narrowly in a 15-runner contest at Thirsk (6f, soft) despite an 8lb rise; major claims provided the ground doesn't dry out too much. |

Well backed when winning over C&D in December and he bounced back from from a disappointing run at Southwell when going very close back here (7f; cheekpieces reapplied) ten days ago; only 1lb higher than for that near miss and he could make another bold bid back in trip. |

A losing run stretching back to October 2019 is an obvious concern but he has plenty in his favour otherwise; suited by ground softer than good, runs off a career-low mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth of 15 (one place ahead of Ey Up Its Jazz) at Thirsk last week; high on the list. |

20th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins over 6f on good to soft or slower but effective on quicker surfaces; only just above his winning mark at Redcar in April but has lacked the pace to make an effective challenge in three C&D attempts. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

3-39 and not the most consistent, following up his Redcar win (6f, soft) last month with sixth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, soft) 12 days later when around 4l behind Slainte Mhath; needs to bounce back. |

Resumed winning ways back on turf in 6f handicap here in April and not disgraced (second home from low draw) when sixth of 15 at Thirsk (6f) 12 days ago; he can go well off the same mark as last time. |

Poor strike-rate and on a long losing run but he is fully effective over C&D and he comes here on the back of two seconds last month; drawn on the outside and may have to wait a bit longer to get off the mark for this yard. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (5) |
19th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

His last win was in July 2021 but that was off 19lb higher at Haydock (6f, good) and he was a good second at Newcastle (Tapeta) two weeks ago; should go well again back on turf and he's respected for in-form yard. |

20th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Both turf wins at 6f on good to firm and while she was a respectable if remote runner-up on soft at Redcar in April, she ran no sort of race on the same surface next time; not badly treated on a C&D run last summer, so it's on the cards that she will do better again this time. |

5th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Few chances at 6f and popped up in first-time visor at Redcar last June (good to firm); not as good in July and off afterwards; below best on soft/good to soft in 2023 but it could be a different story on drying ground. |

Addition of a visor saw him spring a 33-1 surprise off this mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last June; both subsequent runs have confirmed there was no fluke about the win (fair fourth on soft on reappearance, first run since July) and today's return of the visor (off last time) could help. |
