Has shown improved form lately when winning twice at this track over extended 1m2f, a maiden on good ground and a 3yo handicap on soft; raised 13lb for latter success, but still has to be taken seriously; should stay this trip.

Steadily improved for handicaps and appreciated ease in the ground last twice when runner-up at Down Royal (1m2f) and Galway (1m6f); well-held both times but was behind very well-handicapped winner at Galway and finished 2.75l ahead of Lady Pimsoll; considered but probably best on ground with a give.
