Progressive on turf in early summer before things didn't pan out his way in first-time blinkers (removed) round Chester when last seen two months ago; quite possible this mark will prove within range.

Front-runs; all five wins at 5f, including on heavy; useful 6f form when runner-up in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month, albeit helped by racing against the stands' rail; dropped right out in the Portland at Doncaster since and this is also highly competitive; yard has won two of the last seven runnings.

Thriving of late and she cosily made it two wins from her last three starts in ten-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 13 days ago; up 3lb but this C&D scorer seems sure to be on the premises again with promising 5lb claimer Conor Whiteley up again.
