Low-mileage 3yo who has a record of 22213, all over 5f/6f for Gary Harrison, since handicapping; solid claims, assuming he continues in the same vein on debut for new yard; still with same owner.

Has clicked since handicapping on fast turf, his two seconds working out particularly well subsequently; off the mark in good style at Thirsk (6f) last time and this half-brother to a Tapeta winner remains open to improvement despite 7lb rise; high on the shortlist.

Sole win was in a small-field novice at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last autumn but she's on a reduced mark and was an eye-catching second at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago; should go well again and it would be a positive if rain arrives.

Form & Verdict
Doubled her tally when winning a classified event at Ayr (7f, soft) in June before a good second there in a handicap next time; did too much too soon and didn't get home over 1m at Leicester two weeks ago, and this free-going sort could go well now dropping back to 6f.

Made the breakthrough when making all in a Redcar handicap (7f, good) in May; mixed form in four subsequent runs, but he went close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and had an excuse at Thirsk (stumbled at the start) last time; still unexposed at this trip and he's a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form.
