Form & Verdict
Ultra-consistent this year, winning three times and going 23lb up the handicap; is proven on Tapeta but she'll need to be spot on back from three months off, having just a second run over 5f and racing off a career-high mark.

Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest.
