Scored over C&D in October off 6lb lower; ran up to her best when beaten a short-head at Lingfield (7f; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but failed to back it up when last of ten over C&D last time (cheekpieces absent); headgear returns and holds claims if they have the desired effect.

Three 7f wins on Polytrack and Tapeta between April and June in 2025 for this yard; right out of luck for different trainers from November onwards but he fell a long way in the weights and shot home to take a late second at Southwell (7f) 14 days ago; should make hay off current mark, 6lb lower than latest win, if overcoming a wide draw.
