Benefited from the drop into 0-50 classified company when off the mark at the 14th attempt at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) five weeks ago; more is needed on this return to a handicap and she has more to prove on Tapeta.

Caught late after hanging left in a C&D classified event two starts ago before gaining his fifth AW success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on old form and he has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner who was placed on turf here (1m2f) last month but he flopped on his drop back to 1m at Bath (started slowly) 12 days ago; needs to bounce back after that and he's probably more potent over longer trips these days.
