Has turned things around with wins at Southwell (1m6f) and Lingfield (1m5f), latterly defying a penalty by one length; the 4lb rise could find him out in this higher grade and Jack Callan, who was aboard for those wins, no longer claims.

Fair form on all three starts, best form on soft ground on second occasion; latest was her closest finish, though, when making most in a 1m3f maiden at Kempton (AW) and that performance suggests she will stay 1m4f; needs to find extra to get off the mark on this handicap debut.

Won over hurdles last December (2m); reverted to the Flat in May and was beaten just a neck at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month on his second start back, when 7l clear of the third; there's every chance that this trip will be within range and he should again be involved.
