Ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; sported first-time blinkers when running out a surprise 33-1 winner on stable/seasonal debut at Navan (6f, yielding) 13 days ago; should go well again.

Has steadily progressive RPRs and latest effort (7f) suggests this drop back in distance won't be an issue; opening mark looks lenient on our figures; interesting.

Front-runner who has made the frame three times over 7f/1m this season; gave it a fairly good shot before fading into seventh at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) ten days ago and continues to edge down the weights; one to consider.

1-12; placed over C&D in April, and gave it a good go from the front when third to Vega's Virtue at Ripon (1m, good) a fortnight ago; sports newly applied cheekpieces seeking that extra edge with the drop back to 7f in her favour; chance.

Not solid on his form over shorter; however, combination of new trip, switch to nursery level and physical tweak (gelded since last run) may prompt improvement.
