Form & Verdict
Consistent in six runs for Roger Varian without really progressing; creditable third of 11 at Nottingham last month (6f, good) before changing hands for 38,000gns five days later; drops to 5f for the first time since his debut; still has time to do better.

Sole win in 23 starts came over 5f in Britain two seasons ago; has made a quiet start for his current yard; of some interest with Dylan Browne McMonagle teaming up with a trainer from his native Donegal.

5f winner in Britain two seasons ago; a long way below his best on his last four starts last year and a Gowran claimer on reappearance; seems most effective at 6f, though was placed over this trip on AW last year; first time with cheekpieces.

Beat 16 rivals to win at Bath on Good Friday (5f, soft); best effort since when second in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Ascot 12 days ago, conceding first run to the winner but finishing her race off well; good mark and she shouldn't be underestimated.
