Caught the eye when fourth of 14 at Haydock (1m2f, good) on penultimate outing, but his other two efforts since getting off the mark at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July have been underwhelming; others preferred.

Having eighth start when off the mark at Doncaster in July, coming from the rear; readily seen off over 1f out at Sandown 15 days later but was back in good form when fourth behind an impressive winner at Haydock (also 1m2f, good; I Am Me 12th) three weeks ago; contender.

Sometimes front-runs; won a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft) in September; the solid sequence continued when she was beaten a neck in three-runner race at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago but this race may be a bit too competitive.

Has won two of her last four, a Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Hamilton seller (1m3f, soft; Ancient Myth last) 11 days ago; latter win was convincing, arguably a career best, and she has form here too; likely stays this trip; player.

Form & Verdict
Daughter of Sir Percy advanced her form in 1m2f novice at Lingfield 30 days ago, beaten narrowly but bumped late and awarded the race; she has more to offer so rates a big player with this longer distance also a plus.

Made the running when 1m2f handicap winner (good to firm) this year at Doncaster and Beverley; 25-1 and again set the pace when fourth of five in Listed race at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago, which was another good run but whether it's worth another 3lb rise in today's mark can be questioned.

Unraced on softer than good; emphatic wins in his first three handicaps, here on second occasion; the winning sequence ended on latest outing but he was a close second that day to the subsequent Melrose winner; has a fair bit to find on form but this 3yo should be open to further progress and he's a dark horse venturing beyond 14.5f for the first time.

Four 2yo runs at up to 8.5f barely scratched the surface of his potential and he ran out the comfortable winner of two handicaps last month, 1m4f at Ripon and an extended 1m6f at Doncaster last week; 10lb higher this time but still 2lb well in and he has more to offer as a stayer.
