Beat Smokey Malone at Yarmouth in May (1m6f, good to firm) and has continued to run well; her mark looks about right but she should be involved.

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims.

Stayed on best at Kempton (1m4f, AW; front pair clear) two runs ago and a steady pace found him out at Chelmsford (1m5f); unlikely to be far away should this pan out more favourably.

Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time.
