Latest effort excusable (caught wide over 7f, a trip she's not proven at) but she isn't progressing and needs a career best if she is to shed her maiden status on her first run for a new stable; the hood returns tonight.

In good form at 6f and 7f on the AW earlier in the year, either side of a break, but the defeat at this trip, as well as subsequent losses over 6f, suggest he'll have his work cut out in his first 7f run on turf.

Raced only on AW to date, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield in January and running two solid races in handicaps since (behind Vocal Legend latest); improvement is needed to defy this mark but a more thorough test at the trip should suit and the stable are having a hot spell; hasn't hit his ceiling yet.
