Form & Verdict
1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

Having dropped down the weights he ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago and is now another 1lb lower; however, he needs something extra and is just 1-16 on turf as opposed to 4-14 on AW.

Impressive over C&D (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in April; second at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in August and has probably been running better than it looks in three starts this month, latterly when not staying 6f ten days ago; might surprise a few.

In good form over the summer and she landed a fast-ground hat-trick when winning here (5.5f) at the start of August; went in again over that C&D (firm) a fortnight later and two respectable efforts (soft/heavy) subsequently; forecast quicker conditions bring her right back into the picture.
