6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.

0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces.

0-16 but she has had some near misses along the way, notably at Wolverhampton in February (6f) when beaten a nose by a thriving rival; not so good back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago; may have to wait longer to shed her maiden tag.

Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break.

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.

Sole win was over 6f on turf in July 2024; on reduced mark and was a creditable fourth at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago but that took his record to 1-22 and he's untried at this trip; others are more persuasive.

Won two of her last three runs in 2025, over 5.7f and 6f, and this month's two defeats have come over 7f; not seen to best effect at Kempton on Wednesday and shaped as though still in form; respected.
