Form & Verdict
Nine-race maiden who has sparked only once (December) in her last five outings; 22-1 when tailed off on return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) six weeks ago, after 12 weeks off; return to AW handicap offers her more of a chance but others look a bit more solid.

Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company.

Form & Verdict
Led close home to make winning seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but has not quite been in the same form since (four runs); tried a visor on latest start and it's retained; last three runs were over 1m and the return to 7f may give more hope.

Began 2026 with two good placed efforts over 1m2f at Lingfield; easy enough to strike a line through latest effort as he ended up poorly positioned in a race run at a stop-start tempo; drops in trip and steps up in class today; others appeal more.

Has shown a little ability as when beaten 3l into fifth of nine behind Almutraf on handicap debut over C&D in June; lesser effort at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) since then, though, and needs to benefit from the first-time tongue-tie.

Best form last year when close second at Carlisle (6f, soft) and Chester (7f, good to soft) in September; below form on reappearance, followed by a heavy defeat on latest start (again 6f on good); cheekpieces (worn on last five outings) are replaced by an eyeshield for this AW debut.

Good third at Hamilton (good) in July and he bumped into an improving filly when a modest second at Ripon (also about 1m, soft) one week later; form has dipped the last twice but he's not totally dismissed from this career-low mark reunited with Oisin Orr; first try at 1m2f.

Signs of ability last year and he built on that when third of eight on handicap debut at Catterick (6f, good) 16 days ago; slowly away that day, having blown the start the time before; moves up from 6f for the first time (also AW debut) and may have started to get his act together.

Three course runs have yielded a win and two second-place finishes; they came over 7f but she is not short of pace and today's drop in trip could suit; went off too fast on last week's Musselburgh return but she should be sharper here and she's high on the list.
