Form & Verdict
Some good form in defeat over 6f since the hood went on; hasn't shone over 7f for this yard but all of his wins have come over this distance and he could be involved; reapplied cheekpieces join the hood.

Losing run is mounting up but he shaped well from the front over C&D (good) eight days ago, eventually tying up having kicked clear too soon in hindsight, beaten only 2l; big chance off same mark with Ethan Tindall taking off a bonus 5lb, provided his energy is used better.

Found trouble in running over C&D last month and went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday; has a good record at the Edinburgh venue but won over this C&D (good to firm) last June and she's one to consider.

The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims.
