Only fifth when 10-11 favourite on this month's reappearance in Listed race at Newmarket; however, she may have needed the run and has stand-out form claims judged on last year's best efforts, namely her Wokingham win (6f, good to firm) and a fine third in the Group 1 Sprint Cup over C&D (good).

Won this race first time out in 2024, landed the prestigious Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June and ran a cracker when third to stablemate Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock in the autumn; has a fine record on a sound surface and looks the one to beat.

His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance.

Form & Verdict
Has got closer in each of his runs, getting to within a length of the winner at Thirsk latest (7f, good to soft); it wasn't a strong race (time wasn't great) and this is his first time at 6f, but he's still a likely contender in this modest a contest.

Off the mark (seventh attempt) when making all in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in December and he had an excuse when upped to 1m2f on his handicap debut there in January; now returns to 1m but he needs more progress back on turf after 131 days off.
