Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.

No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success.

Form & Verdict
Has a 1-17 record but has run well to be third on two of her three outings this year, doing quite well to snatch a place from well back over C&D (good) on latest start 23 days ago; hold-up style dictates she needs things to drop right but she's on a workable mark if they do.

Third over C&D three times in a row earlier in the season and an each-way case can be made on that form; however, below par elsewhere the last twice and she has to turn things around now blinkered (replacing cheekpieces).

17-race maiden but she's not long with this yard and led for a long way over the extended 7f at Beverley last time; the handicapper has taken a bit of a chance dropping her a further 3lb and she's now 11lb lower than when twice narrowly denied on AW last July; interesting.

3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success.
