Improved form on soft ground when switched to handicaps, notably for a Brighton win (1m4f) in September; shaped as if needing the run at Lingfield (1m4f, AW; her second AW race) on return in April but beaten 24l at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) three weeks ago; back to AW and up in trip, which is an unknown.

Signs of inexperience when first handicapping but hinted at better to come when third at Windsor (1m3f) in August and stamina saw her through when winning at Brighton (1m4f; also on soft) next time; ran as though the AW run was needed in April but the stiff track and conditions will suit.

Doubled tally with ready win in basement-grade classified here (11.6f, good to firm) a week ago but that race was very slowly run and the second had a puny BHA rating of 25, so the form looks dubious; tries a new trip today.

Frequent slow starter who is 1-29, but his win came here (1m2f) last summer and he's caught the eye with his late headway in C&D handicaps this spring; seems versatile ground-wise and he's respected back in a classified event.
