Formerly useful; however, he's on a three-year losing spell and chance largely depends on how well he responds to physical tweak (had wind surgery since last run).

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Henrietta C Knight

Eventually drew clear from two rivals at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) last week, having taken a while to respond to Billy Loughnane's urgings; previously effective over 1m4f and, even with 4lb penalty, remains well treated on peak form.

Seen a good deal more often on AW but won the latest of her four turf races, over 11.6f on good ground at Lingfield in June, and that was up with her best form; close second on good to soft last year; looks vulnerable off this mark but 5lb claimer Jack Callan is enlisted.

Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help.

Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in.
