0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely).

Form & Verdict
Made her breakthrough when scoring on stable/seasonal debut at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in April; held in three runs since but her third at Leicester was a good effort and she caught the eye with her late headway at Goodwood last time; should get a decent tow into this race and she still has potential as a handicapper.
