Third run for this yard when belatedly off the mark over 7f here 13 days ago; that was a Class 6 so likely to need more, though Millie Wonnacott's claim takes away 5lb of the 6lb rise.

Placed several times over further in Ireland, but twice out of the frame since returning for this yard last month and is now 0-17; little appeal.
