Form & Verdict
Much improved in this headgear combination on AW debut a fortnight ago with forcing tactics adopted over C&D from same low draw, keeping on well in beating Monvoe 0.5l (third-placed Badger's Cove won here last week); 7lb higher but capable 5lb claimer negates much of that; remains in same grade and has to be respected.

Maiden who has finished close up in two of three 6f handicaps for new yard, notably when finding Carlisle's stiff test at the trip a bit much for her in May; lesser efforts at 5f and 6f since, though, the fitting of cheekpieces at Catterick last time not an obvious pointer for this.
