Sole 3yo in the field; soundly beaten in Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) last time but before that he was a creditable third in the Group 3 Classic Trial there (1m2f, good to soft); on a fair mark on best form and his trainer has a good record in this race; not ruled out in first-time tongue-tie.

Handicap win over 1m4f (good) at Chester was the highlight of a five-race British Flat career; off the mark hurdling at fourth attempt with an easy Leopardstown victory (2m, soft to heavy); well beaten in a Fairyhouse Listed Leopardstown (2m, yielding to soft) contest last time for handicap debut; this is easier; non-runner 5.20 at Chester on Friday.

Can make the running; four handicap wins last year and she looked back to her best when a close fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; favourite) on latest outing, possibly playing her cards too soon; all turf starts have been on softer than good; may well be set for another bold show.

Highly versatile regarding tactics; 2-2 on AW (Polytrack last August and September); those were the second and third of last year's four handicap wins and she ran respectably when reappearing at Epsom (11-1; a little better than the bare result suggests) three weeks ago; with that behind her, it's possible she can resume progress; strongly considered.
