Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider.

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that.

Suited by drop back in trip when scoring on this month's handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) and probably bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) a fortnight later; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and nicely drawn towards nearside rail; big player.

Showed promise in maiden/novice company at Thirsk (5f to 1m) and he duly stepped forward on his handicap debut at Hamilton two weeks ago (6f, good), always prominent and proving too strong for the reopposing Ellie's De Vega; attracted market support on that occasion (14-1 into 15-2) and he looks a major player up 3lb.
