Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm) but she's been up and down since and was only seventh of ten at Hamilton last Tuesday; still 2lb higher than for her last success and she has some work to do.

Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his Listed AW success in February 2021; did nothing wrong when second under Sam Feilden at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month but the forecast rain is unlikely to aid his cause here; younger rivals are preferred.
