12-race maiden but she comes here on the back of two placed efforts over C&D, travelling strongly last week when finding only a well-treated opponent too strong; this is weaker and she's a major player.

Her three wins have come on stiffer tracks but she's a consistent mare who finished well to be right on the scene over C&D 18 days ago (good); today's slower surface should place a greater emphasis on stamina that will suit.

Form & Verdict
Six of his eight wins have come over C&D, the latest in June when he comfortably accounted for Evoluir off 1lb lower; wouldn't have won at Wolverhampton last week but he was closing when squeezed out against the rail and still looked in form; return to these conditions will suit.

C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025.

Looked exposed as modest for his former yard but he proved a revelation tried in cheekpieces on his stable debut 15 days ago (7f, good), making the running and finding plenty for pressure; dropping to a stiff 6f shouldn't be an issue and he still has time to do better.
