Scottish raider who has shown great progress, having gone from winning off a mark of 57 early last season to running well in Listed grade a couple of times, including on penultimate start; this is harder.

Had a wonderful year in 2025, winning six times and rounding off her campaign with a good fifth behind Beautiful Diamond in a Listed event over 5.5f here (soft); down the field on her return but she quickly rebounded with a fine third at Carlisle (Listed; 5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still improving but the forecast rain may suit others better.

Impressive on last season's debut (6f, good; strong favourite); third in Listed company a fortnight later but his form dipped at Thirsk when last seen in September; gelded over the winter; should be quick enough to cope with 5f but not obviously well treated; stable also run Loom and Tuscan Point.
