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.

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).

Now 5lb lower than when dominating from the front at Musselburgh (7f, good) just over a year ago but slow starts have become an issue in the meantime, and she was always behind when 33-1 for last month's reappearance run; looks risky back at 6f.

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.

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.
