Came from well back to win on stable debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in March and bounced back from lesser run at Yarmouth with close fourth of six at Wolverhampton (6f, AW); effective on turf in the past and not ruled out.

Came from well back to win a 5f handicap at Chelmsford on her stable debut in March; unable to reproduce that form at Yarmouth last month; still has handicapping scope and returning to 6f/Class 5 can help.

Made a winning start for her new connections when coming home 2.25l clear of her rivals in a Class 5 at Chelmsford 16 days ago (5f); she looked to be going nowhere through the first half of that race, under the pump before the field had completed a furlong, but the pace folded and she was strong at the finish; a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out.

Good effort when second over C&D last month, her third run for this stable; not quite so good at Lingfield last time but the return of the tongue-tie could give her a lift.

Form & Verdict
Made all for an easy win at Kempton (6f) last month when blinkers were added for the first time; two solid efforts (again over 6f) behind a thriving rival have followed; creeping up the weights and dropping in trip but still more appealing than many.

J: Jack Doughty

Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise.

Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW.

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when runner-up five consecutive times (once here) over 6f in September-January, and last month's 5f fourth at Chelmsford came in a slightly better race than this; worth persisting with over this trip.

His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does.
