The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby.

Struggled on first three starts for this yard last autumn but back to form with a bang when accounting for the reopposing Jonny Concrete and 11 others at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; only scraped home by a short head so she may struggle to confirm that narrow superiority over Iain Jardine's charge on the revised terms.

Progressed in 5f handicaps last winter, throwing away a winning opportunity here by hanging badly right before winning at Newcastle and Southwell (had a rail on her right); second off this mark at Southwell in March but she failed to fire in two turf runs in the spring; can win more races but there are concerns about her back around a left-hand bend and also over 6f.
