Often threatened better as a 3yo and he has made good progress this year, albeit he only has one win (5f, good to soft) to show for it; not beaten far into fifth in a blanket finish at Thirsk 17 days ago (5f, good); now sports a hood for the first time and that could help this free-going sort.

There was a hiccup on penultimate start (possibly pressed too strong a pace) but she's otherwise been steadily progressive in handicaps; came from off the pace for a narrow win when upped to 1m4f at Brighton latest; may have more in the tank but this is a much stronger race and all her success has been on AW or good to firm.
