Tough filly who took time to find her form again but won two in a row in early spring, over C&D (overcame a wide draw) and at Chelmsford (5f), and subsequent defeats came over 6f then very slowly away here in April; form claims.

On a dangerous mark and he was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run; subsequent lesser effort came in a Class 5 and he tackles his first 0-60 today; well drawn and a big run looks on the cards.

Form & Verdict
Won just one of his 18 starts in Ireland for David Marnane but he was in fair form in the latter part of 2025; low-key stable debut (after a wind op) at Wolverhampton last month; interesting to see if he's stronger in the betting with that behind him and dropped in class.
