Two wins in the first half of 2025, over 1m at Southwell and 7f at Redcar; not so good after the latter win but she returns from 202 days off at a low level; worth a market check.

Came from off a strong pace to win over C&D (16-1; from 2lb higher) in February, and maintained a similar level of form (253) for a short while afterwards; less convincing on turf lately, only sixth of 14 at Beverley last week; stablemate of Shimmering Spirit.

Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached.

Three course wins in the first half of 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; this winter's efforts don't suggest he is the answer but Paul Mulrennan returns to the saddle and blinkers (only worn once in his last 11 starts and that run was his best RPR in that period) replace cheekpieces.
