Hint of ability after getting knocked sideways at the start on Newbury debut (7f, good to soft); well held on AW after but came through strongly to lead near the line on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) in June; up 2lb and this stiffer test back on turf can suit; improve.

Form & Verdict
Stamina on the dam's side and latest effort (7f, Polytrack) suggests this return to a longer trip is worth exploring; her yard has been quiet but she's one of the more interesting runners in a handicap in which plenty have something to prove.

Best efforts so far when second of 11 at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in May and third of eight here (8.6f) last month; lower in the weights than for each of those runs, but she didn't seem to stay over C&D last time which is a worry, as is the outside stall.

1m win here in November off a 1lb lower mark; mixed record since returning from a 112-day break but not beaten far at Wolverhampton on penultimate start (8.6f; visored first time) and a subsequent Newmarket defeat excusable as he's yet to shine on turf; should be seen to better effect today.

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal.
