Went chasing late in her career but she's making a good fist of it and was going best from some way out when winning at Exeter (3m, good) in March; no blame attached for defeat next time and she didn't appreciate the 3m2f trip at Fontwell recently; a sharp 3m should suit; close up.

Made the breakthrough over fences with 10l win at Exeter (3m, good) last month; was beaten by 10l when third of four at Plumpton (3m2f) last time but that was behind two progressive 6yos and her jockey went for home a circuit too soon; still has potential as a staying chaser and she's in the mix off same mark as last time.

1-10 over hurdles and now 1-6 as a chaser after drawing clear for a 10l success at Exeter (3m, good); raised 7lb for winning that weak contest but there's no depth to this, either.

Form & Verdict
All this season's form has been pretty useful, in strong 1m2f handicaps at Newbury (good to firm) and York (good) last two outings; cheekpieces go on; the one to beat if they don't have an adverse effect.

Produced a career-best performance when a well-backed winner on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't at the same level at Ascot (1m, good to firm) subsequently and has to leave that run behind.

With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him.

Comes from off the pace; progressed very well initially this season and going down by a nose at Newbury (2m, good to firm) was a reminder of what he's capable of; player if he bounces back from a modest show at York.

With tongue-tie enlisted he's hit major new heights for new yard this year, with two wins preceding his excellent fifth of 15 in the 2m2f Chester Cup; comes from off the pace but never got seriously involved wearing first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 20 as second favourite in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m); needs to bounce back from that pretty disappointing show.

Short-priced favourite when beaten just under 1l in two 1m AW races during the winter; it looks as if the dam's strength in stamina will see her stay 1m2f+ but other runners have stronger form claims.
