Form & Verdict
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender.

Both wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and was demoted after finishing first past the post there in March; 0-8 on turf, though, and this may be an insufficient test for her.

0-7 on turf and hanging right on AW has been costly on her last two starts, being demoted from first at Wolverhampton (8.6f) then finishing third at Newcastle (1m; raced mostly alone); however, this front-runner arrives in good heart and has shown promise on grass; could be in the shake-up.
