Form & Verdict
Has not had much racing and has turned a corner since the tongue-tie went on, following a close fourth over 5f at Lingfield (AW) with a well-held second on the turf track there (good to firm); off the same mark as last time but this slower ground might not be ideal.

Serial slow starter who's done most recent racing over 7f and looked to find this trip stretching her a couple of times; capable if getting away and finding the race setting up for her but she's been expensive to follow in 0-50 company latterly.

His most competitive run for Andrew Balding came when beaten under 3l on his handicap debut last December (6f AW); gelded prior to recent stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f) and shaped as though that run may have been needed; not ruled out.
