Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark.

A revelation on AW for new yard since last November, posting an eight-timer; close second of six off this mark at Wolverhampton last month; he's 0-9 on turf but this is his first run on grass for his current trainer and he could be involved.

Form & Verdict
Best effort came on second handicap start when just run down close home by Aisling Oscar over a mile here last time; was keen then so the drop in trip should suit her and she is 3lb better off with that rival today.
