Last season's two standout efforts came over 5f at Thirsk, including a handicap win off 4lb lower; effective on AW and the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests he'll be forward enough on his return from 167 days off.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
He has made giant strides for this yard, winning four handicaps since August (two over C&D); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts but Alondra scooted past him here 24 days ago and he will need to raise his game a level to resume winning ways.
