Won a bumper on turf here in 2021; first win since was at Lingfield (2m, good) in just her fourth handicap, doing it smoothly from off the pace under Liam Wright despite an absence of more than three years; it's five days this time but she has form on Tapeta and has to be in serious calculations.

Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most.

Had shown little on the Flat prior to winning a maiden hurdle in June and he badly let his many supporters down when beaten 14l returned to this sphere in a handicap here (about 2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; put that behind him when winning a Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, however, and he'll make his presence felt if up for it again.
