Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected.

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out.

Unlikely that he gave his running when tried over 1m2f two runs back but solid efforts otherwise this season and bumped into an improver over shorter at Hamilton (soft); just 2lb higher and should go well.

Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here.

All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player.
