Can make the running; four handicap wins last year and she looked back to her best when a close fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; favourite) on latest outing, possibly playing her cards too soon; all turf starts have been on softer than good; may well be set for another bold show.

Highly versatile regarding tactics; 2-2 on AW (Polytrack last August and September); those were the second and third of last year's four handicap wins and she ran respectably when reappearing at Epsom (11-1; a little better than the bare result suggests) three weeks ago; with that behind her, it's possible she can resume progress; strongly considered.

All turf starts have been on ground softer than good; won five of her eight races, including 1m2f/1m3f handicaps on four of her last five; highly versatile regarding tactics (made all to score by a neck at Newmarket in October when last seen) and, although she's gone up another 6lb, it's hard to rule out further improvement if she returns on song.

Won two 1m6f turf handicaps last June but inconsistent afterwards and unraced since a flop in October; left Charlie Johnston for 6,000gns 16 days later and had wind surgery in March; well handicapped (2lb above last winning mark) if he returns revived for new stable.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 221 since wearing headgear and ties in closely with Ashariba on Chelmsford running (1m2f); comfortably justified favouritism in Hamilton maiden (1m1f) most recently and may well build on that win; major contender.

Made all for a 5l win at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) in August but that was a golden opportunity in a maiden and he flopped back in a handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; still lightly raced but that was a major blip last time and he needs to bounce back.

0-5 and has hung when going close this summer on his first two handicap starts (9.4f/1m2f, AW); needs to prove he can get the job done but he's a leading form contender today; showed promise on turf on debut in May; first-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn the last twice.
