4yo with only six races behind him and has gone 2-3 in handicaps with narrow verdicts at Thirsk and Musselburgh (again 5f, good); essentially 5lb higher than last time as Zak Wheatley claimed 3lb that day, but he's got a good draw and first-time headgear; respected.

Unexposed after just four runs; consistent form in 5f novices last term and made an encouraging reappearance/handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) five weeks ago, fading having had the worst of the draw; remains open to improvement and high on the list.

Unproven on ground slower than good to soft; five-time winner (5f/6f), the most recent win at Musselburgh in April off a 10lb lower mark than today's; second in each of her last five starts, including when ahead of a few of today's rivals at Goodwood (6f, good) two starts back, but now tries 7f for the first time off a career-high mark.
