Form & Verdict
Back on the scoresheet when winning at Lingfield (1m1f, good) in July and she ran a big race under a 5lb penalty when second in a competitive Goodwood handicap one week later; got off to a troublesome start when tailed off at 11-8 back at that track three weeks ago; worth forgiving that although new eye-shields replacing her regular hood is a leftfield move.

3-29, the latest win coming at Lingfield (1m1f, good) a year ago; still 3lb higher and although she may appreciate the return to turf, she looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals; stable also runs Perdy In Paris.

Has good pedigree and he showed some promise in three runs for Clive Cox last year, including a debut fourth over C&D; changed hands for 26,000gns in October; this unexposed 4yo now goes handicapping for new yard and he needs watching in the market on return.
