14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

Form & Verdict
He hasn't been at his best on AW this winter but he retains ability and the handicapper has given him a real chance on turf, fully 17lb lower than for his last run on grass; there are risks attached but he's being ridden by a talented amateur and he's of some interest.
