Form & Verdict
Record of 1-16, the win coming in May of last year (1m2f, good to firm) when 13lb higher; twice respectable in June but she was all over the shop in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield 11 days ago when unsteerable and pulled up; no headgear this time but others are safer.

Never showed on AW 18 days ago but she'd been delivered with a well-timed run to win an amateur jockeys' race at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) the time before; not the easiest of rides but is capable of going well.

Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs.

Form & Verdict
6lb higher when winning this 12 months ago and the same trainer/jockey combination also won this race the previous season; however, reduced mark is for a reason and he has a bit to find with Lindwall on their recent clash.
