Form & Verdict
Well beaten on first two starts; serious issues with the stalls last year, withdrawn three times after refusing to go in; they were able to load her at Wolverhampton on her return to action three weeks ago and she showed some promise in third of five (6f; hooded first time); that form not easy to assess with the red-hot favourite not running to his best but she has potential and 5f could suit.

Two lengthy absences in her younger days and returns from ten months off tonight; progressed well for the hood going on last summer but will need more off her revised mark, 13lb higher than for Leicester win last June; refused to enter the stalls in two intended starts later in 2023.

Form & Verdict
Of some interest on last season's best and there was encouragement to be gleaned from his latest Wetherby run where he looked a threat 1f out before hanging across to the far rail and weakening in the closing stages; return to 5f in his favour and he's one to consider.
