Scored at Carlisle (1m) last May but her more recent form is much less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; this C&D scorer needs to take a major step forward.

Didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when well held in a 0-65 at Redcar (7f, good) last time, but the return to this C&D is in his favour in any case (record 12413); just 2lb higher than for his latest success last month; solid chance.

Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity.
