Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted.

Has started off very well for Michael Herrington, landing a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and going close in another at Thirsk (5f, good; Spring Is Sprung fourth, American Bay seventh) three weeks ago; a further 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing in his current mood, particularly with the promising Conor Whiteley taking 7lb off.

Won a 5f seller at Goodwood in May and has performed well in novice company since, most recently finishing third of 11 at Lingfield (5f, good to firm; tried in cheekpieces which are left off today) last week; 6f worth exploring and she's more appealing than most.
