Well treated on her old form but last win was over two years ago and she has form figures of 77870096 in the last 13 months; handles most ground but she has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround.

Major player on her 2023 form but she went the wrong way last year; there was more encouragement in her midfield finish in a 0-72 handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago (5f, good), however, and she's considered back in these calmer waters.

Up against it on the wrong side in the Silver Cup ten days ago but he'll be happier back in a Class 4 and now on the same mark as the latest of his three course wins (6f, good to firm) in June; one to be interested in.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Kevin Philippart De Foy; bought for 12,000gns in November; creditable runs in two 5f handicaps at Musselburgh on his two starts for Jim Goldie (not clear run on first occasion); step up to 6f should suit but muddling gallop would be a negative.

Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect.

Soft-ground winner who is below her last winning mark and ran some pretty good races in defeat last month; however, she made it 0-8 for the year when finishing last here (7f, soft) last week and has to bounce back.
