Form & Verdict
Justified market support in first-time tongue-tie off 5lb lower at Wolverhampton (5f) in March before finishing fourth of ten here (6f, AW) 49 days ago, despite racing freely; gelded since; makes turf debut and likely to go well if coping with the grass.

Looked ahead of his mark in first three 5f wins on the AW, most recently at Southwell in March; missed a beat at the start and only just failed to reel in the more prominently ridden Spendmore Lane at Lingfield since; raised a further 3lb but still has potential.

Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form.

Has a nice pedigree; she ran to just a modest level in three starts last year but there was promise in her sixth of nine on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW; first-time tongue tie) following a slow start; may benefit from that first outing for 174 days and she's respected.

Not much to write home about in her first six starts, but the drop into 0-50 classified company made a big difference when she scored by over 4l at Chepstow (1m, good) 13 days ago; this will be much harder from 1lb out of the weights back in a handicap, but something may have clicked.
