Won Lingfield novice for Andrew Balding in January; has failed to make the frame in seven handicaps since for current yard; usual headgear left off and doesn't look up to taking advantage of a declining mark.

Consistent British raider boasts a decent strike rate of 5-13 but her last four wins have come over 6f; finished a 1.5l fourth (a nose ahead of Jakajaro) over 5f in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time and there shouldn't be much between them again here; big player.

Successful over 5f in the very early days but three wins in her last four starts have all been over 6f, in Listed races at home and a Group 3 at Deauville; returns to this trip for the first time since beaten in a Listed event last July and others have much stronger claims.

Form & Verdict
Raced only at 5f but is bred to be suited by this new trip, being out of a 6f AW winner; sets the standard on peak Irish effort, namely second at Cork behind useful rival, and may be sharper for her Boxing Day run (stable debut; back from layoff).

All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival.

Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted.

12-race maiden; with Rae Guest when a beaten evens-favourite at Brighton (7f) in June; has failed to beat a rival in two AW starts (6f-7f) for this trainer, so needs to take a significant step forward for the introduction of cheekpieces.
