Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts.

Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix.

Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; well backed) three weeks ago, reportedly appreciating the return to turf; still has plenty of handicapping scope up 3lb and his new trainer (same owner) has won with two of his last three runners; visor returns today having worn cheekpieces last time.

Dead-heated with Sir Rodneyredblood over C&D in December (same terms today) and she followed up at Wolverhampton in January; behind Sir Rodneyredblood here two weeks ago but in a race where she was the only runner to make up much ground from the rear; capable of going well.
