All runs over 6f; won comfortably from the front here in May and then highly tried at Royal Ascot; only fifth in his two subsequent nurseries and, while the step up to 7f may suit, a penalty spells danger.

Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs.

Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat.

Finished last on debut in a York maiden (6f, good to firm) in May; much better effort when showing promise at Haydock (7f, soft) next time; perhaps didn't handle Chester latest; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers and no surprise if he bounces back, now returned to 6f on nursery debut.
