Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender.

Went very close off 1lb lower mark on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (6f) and was not discredited when third in Wolverhampton novice a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack and probably won't be far away.

Gradually getting closer to winning, beaten half a length on her Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) in January and by just a short head in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be bang there again.

Showed minor ability in one of her three qualifying runs; best effort came on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), when the winner went by late on; drop back to this trip looks worth another go; not ruled out.

String of costly defeats on the AW early in the year and remains a maiden; has the ability but hung left back on turf last month before not seeing it out on soft ground last time; risks involved running over 5f for just the second time.

Made it 0-9 and he wasn't at his best (hung badly left) on a rare turf start at Windsor (6f, good; fifth) three weeks ago; needs to prove he can get the job done but he's on a handy mark on his consistent AW form earlier this year; not written off.

0-8 but involved in close finishes over 7f and 6f (AW) in February and only just failed to get up at Lingfield (5f) in March; no serious impact at Southwell since but ran as though still in form and not ruled out if able to transfer his sand form back to turf (first run on grass since debut).

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark on the last of her six starts for William Haggas, winning a Newcastle handicap comfortably 11 days ago (6f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers); changed hands for 15,000gns since then and has risen 8lb; will need another step up to defy that.

With William Haggas when winning in newly applied blinkers here (6f; 15-2; Surgeon Commander third) in January; failed to shine in three runs for Martin Dunne; stumbled badly at the start on first go for this trainer at Doncaster latest; that's excusable, and an easing mark is helpful.
