Returned to form in the autumn, landing a deserved C&D success in October and running well in defeat on two subsequent starts up to around 3m; remains on a tough mark but should be all the sharper for this month's reappearance.

T: Alastair Ralph

Came back to form in the autumn and gained a deserved success at Stratford (2m6f) in October, following that with two solid placed efforts off higher marks, latest at Hereford (3m2f) in November off 2lb lower and all on good ground; has a career-high mark to defy but is reliable and has gone well off a similar break before.

Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year.

Dictated the pace and stuck on well in five-runner race at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) in December, opening her account at the 15th attempt; creditable third of ten here (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago when she made Sean Bowen work hard and Pipas Lescribaa was second, but there's a 3lb swing in the weights today and this new trip now looks well worth a go; each-way chance.
