Gained a first win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September; has resumed in excellent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when beaten a short head in another 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; a likely player back up in trip.

Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence.

Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously.

Generally consistent sort on turf/AW; still 2lb higher than for his last win (September 2025), but he ran better than the bare facts when returned to this sphere at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; has claims if he gets some luck and his turf win was over this trip.
