Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better.

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor.
