Regressive maiden who's been turned over as favourite a couple of times on the AW of late, latterly looking to have no complaints at a very short price; claims again back on turf for the first time for her current yard but there can only be so many excuses.

Highly tried on occasion by Ben Brookhouse and regressed sharply last year prior to being sold for £5,000 in October; big prices and well held in four AW runs for this yard, which also saddles Havana Club; hard to latch on to unless there's been market support behind him.
