No problem if the ground eases further having won on soft ground over C&D in June, but he is just 2-38 and has a mountain to climb from 13lb out of the weights.

Sole win from 23 turf starts came over C&D in June; two good efforts in his next two course starts (on good and good to firm) but his finishing effort was muted over C&D nine days ago; in the thick of it on the earlier form.

Sole success came in August 2024 when trained in Ireland; has tumbled down the weights since his British debut in December; is a hostage to fortune as he tends to be held up and requires a fast pace to be seen to best effect.

12-race maiden but she's been placed a couple of times at Chepstow (1m) this season and may have had stamina issues when upped to 1m2f last time; seems versatile ground-wise and has claims if she can bounce back with cheekpieces added.
