Form & Verdict
Career-high mark following her third 6f win since December, at Wolverhampton in March (made all; Rossa Ryan up for the first time), but she has early speed and looks worth another go at 5f; should make a good fist of it.

All five wins came over 5f/6f on the AW between December and May, but she put up her best effort on turf so far when beaten just over a length into fourth of 11 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; will have something to prove on the likely slower ground, though.

Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D.

Latest AW win was back in 2021 and he dabbles only intermittently on sand these days (finished a long way back at Wolverhampton last month); not beaten far at Bath recently but still has something to prove on first Polytrack run for 12 months.

Five of his last seven wins have come at Brighton, including when he took six-runner handicap (5.5f, good to firm) in August; comparable form back at that track on his last two outings, but they suggest he needs a bit extra from this mark.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.
