Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath (good) last month; still looks on a workable mark but she's not easy to predict and was disappointing after a slow start at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; risks attached.

Form & Verdict
The drop into a 0-50 classified event and a change of headgear saw him belatedly add to his 2yo win when gamely scoring at Wolverhampton 11 days ago; that wasn't a bad race of its type (third won since) and a 1lb rise could have been tougher.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.

Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark.
