Quirky veteran who's always reliant on some luck given her run style; landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D for Myla Coppins last month and may get this run to suit; player.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at 14th attempt when scoring at Chelmsford (5f) in October but he made no impact behind My Turn Now on return visit last month; that was from a wide draw but he's not easy to predict and needs to step up.

Both wins have come over 5f at Chelmsford, the latest in a classified event in February; well beaten on his last four starts, however, and hopes appear to rest on the addition of a tongue-tie perking him up; betting useful.

Has patchy record and didn't get very far at Newcastle (unseated soon after start) last time, but he was a good second at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run; same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 17 starts but that came off 3lb higher at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in February; mixed record in five runs since but he was beaten less than 3l over C&D last month and that was after a break; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out from stall one.

Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since.
