Six-time AW winner remains a maiden on turf (0-22); has placed over C&D (good) off 3lb higher and shaped better than the bare result at the Curragh latest so not dismissed from an each-way perspective. |

Won four times early last summer, including over C&D, and climbed 19lb up the weights; made it three wins and a second in four starts under Lauren Young when turning in a career-best effort to score at Musselburgh last time out and may well be up to defying a 3lb rise. |
