Solid in-frame efforts on her last four starts; a stiff 7f should be fine for her now but drying ground perhaps not ideal.

Has led but not dependent on tactics; slowly away and never threatened at Chester latest but a first win shouldn't be far away on earlier narrow defeats, at Musselburgh and Carlisle (both 7f; good and good to firm), closely matched with Black Storm on the latter occasion; thereabouts.

Seems versatile ground-wise; first turf win when beating one in tremendous form (won again since) over 7f at Catterick latest but had been a shade unfortunate not to win over C&D in June, when just losing concentration at a fatal stage; back up 4lb but was close behind a well-treated one in this race last year off the same mark; solid chance.

All his early races at up to 7f but has found the step up to 1m very much to his liking on last two starts, finding plenty in the closing stages over this C&D (good to firm) and then under a penalty at Yarmouth (good to soft); unpenalised today and 2lb lower; good chance of the hat-trick.
