Has shown steadily progressive form (421) this term for new yard, gaining a narrow win over C&D (good to firm) most recently; however, she's been campaigned largely in lower grades and now goes into deeper waters; got upset in stalls and was withdrawn at Newbury ten days ago.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't been at his best in his three runs since a four-month break but last week's fourth in a big field at Kempton was much more encouraging; his sole win came over 1m here in February and he's now 2lb lower; unproven over 1m2f but shapes as if he'll stay; more persuasive than most.
