Won over this trip at Pontefract (her only start at 1m) last April and added to her good record in testing conditions when comfortably making all at Nottingham (also heavy, 1m2f) last autumn; probably needs a downpour, which isn't forecast.

Dual 1m2f winner on soft in 2023 and returned to some form when fifth at Sandown, though was behind Tipsy Tiger and Amancio; the return of a tongue-tie is no bad thing but looks vulnerable.

Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton.
