Ex-Irish maiden who has not progressed so far and she was never dangerous when fifth of eight at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; that was only her third handicap but she needs to raise her game.

Both wins have been over 1m at Yarmouth and latest was in August 2022; reached the frame a few times since November but she's been well held over 7f in last two starts; new headgear is now tried but she's not run over this trip for a long time and others are are preferred.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have been at 7f and last two were over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in March, but that was off 5lb higher and he didn't run badly over 6f at Newcastle last time; seems effective with or without headgear and he could be dangerous back up in trip.

Both wins have been on the AW, the first as a 2yo over 5f here and the latest over 7f at Lingfield in August; did well to snatch third after missing the break over C&D last time and she should get a better tow in this race; interesting for in-form yard.
