Off the mark at the 11th attempt when narrowly landing a 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton two weeks ago, her first run for 229 days; wore blinkers for the first time on that occasion and they're now swapped for a visor; should give it another good go up 2lb.

Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb.
