Won a heavy-ground 6f 2yo novice here last October and she was back on the scoresheet at Catterick (7f, good to soft) last month in her second handicap; did it nicely and she may well take a 6lb rise in her stride.

Has work to do with impressive Pinafore on 6f AW form in the autumn and although she came on plenty when winning at Haydock next time (6f, heavy) she needs to be right on her game to win this on belated return (withdrawn after upset in stalls on intended reappearance).

Form & Verdict
Successful in Class 6 event over C&D (good) last Wednesday, taking Catterick record to 4-12; acts on soft; incurs a penalty and goes up in grade but Kieran Schofield takes off a handy 5lb; still well treated on peak form regardless; respected.

Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced).
