Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise.

Still off the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; three-time winner on turf and ran well to finish third of 11 on her return from a break at Catterick (5f, good) 15 days ago; not the most consistent, but her best form would make her a big player.
