Debut was for William Haggas in 2022 and absent one year afterwards; major steps forward in his first two starts for David O'Meara, notably winning a maiden at Carlisle (7f, good to firm), but bled when tailed off on handicap debut last June; sold for 6,500gns last September and is his first run since, having been withdrawn from an AW claimer in May; fair bit to prove.

Sole win came in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft, 18-1) last September and she finished runner-up on her only other visit to Carlisle (7f maiden); not many positives to take from her last four starts, but she probably needed it at Ayr (6f, good; 33-1) off a six-month break.

Progressive filly whose record since contesting AW handicaps reads 411211, her latest win a game success from the front at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days ago; seems to do only just enough so another 3lb rise may well not be enough to stop her.
