Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run.

Losing run stands at 14 and he's flattered to deceive a few times since his last success; kept on well from the back over C&D three weeks ago and no doubt he's capable of featuring now dropping into a Class 4 for the first time since January 2021.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over 6f at Newcastle and it was over that C&D that he ran a fine race for third four weeks ago, poorly positioned in a race that developed into a 3f sprint; ran the fastest sectional in the race for each of the last four furlongs and it's hard to believe he can't win races off this mark in a more conventionally run event; Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; strong contender.
