It's been a struggle since beating a very good yardstick at Cork in May (5f, good); has dropped back to a tempting mark and new headgear could give her a lift.

Went up 7lb for beating Kendall Roy by a length over C&D in May and her new mark is beginning to look an issue after subsequent defeats, for all that one of those was at Royal Ascot.

Form & Verdict
Won a Naas nursery last September; rattled off a handicap double within five days in UK, winning at Windsor and Thirsk, all over this trip; got a hike in the ratings but is ground versatile and could have more to give, so taken seriously.

Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid.

Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely.

His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight.

In excellent form at Dundalk earlier this year; 0-9 on turf and moderate effort at Naas (6f, good) on return from 124 days off on latest; should strip fitter now and 7f more suitable so not totally discounted.
