Form & Verdict
Has shown early speed, as when second of six in a novice over C&D at the start of the month; ran to a similar level when fourth of nine in a Chelmsford maiden (6f, Polytrack) a week later, but returning to this trip is no bad thing; respected on handicap debut.

Made all in maiden handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June; disappointing after that in 2025 but more encouraging signs when fifth of nine to Herakles (Dc Cogent third) on Nottingham reappearance 19 days ago, fading late as if the outing was just needed; enters calculations having dipped 2lb below her winning mark.

Sole win from 18 starts came on her first outing for Michael Keady last February, but she lost her way for that stable and finished last of six in a classified at Lingfield on her debut for this yard 15 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition.
