Took advantage of a declining mark to register her first AW/handicap win, at Southwell (5f) last month; hung right throughout when fourth of five at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) since; should not be far away if on her best behaviour.

Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

Landed 6f Chelmsford AW novice for Simon and Ed Crisford as 2yo; shaped encouragingly for new stable when in the frame on Southwell AW and at Musselburgh but raced too freely when last of eight at Redcar (5f) last time; blinkers are reached for (tongue-tie also refitted); could bounce back.
