6yo who has a regressive profile but he kept on into mid-division over 7f here (good to soft) three weeks ago and the return to 1m and more testing ground could be in his favour, with both wins having come on heavy going; interesting contender off an ever-falling mark.

Gained his Irish wins on heavy ground and he produced a clear best effort for current yard on soft (now 9lb lower) when fourth of nine at Redcar last November; revival plausible when he returns to those conditions.

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.
