Lightly raced filly; successful return to 6f at Leicester (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in July and was only just seen off at Haydock (7f) next time; however, she has a poor record in 1m handicaps so far.

Took form to new level when winning twice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) this summer, but had to settle for third there a fortnight ago and will need to kick on again to overcome this mark.

Dual 5f winner last year when trained by Paul Attwater; beat only one rival home on his stable debut in December and has again been below his best in two starts since wind/gelding operations, albeit 6f on soft ground probably stretched him last time; dropped another 2lb and a tongue-tie is on for the first time.

Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting.

Back up close to a career-high mark at the age of nine having sprung a surprise on turf off 2lb lower last time; lacks consistency now but merits respect as a five-time C&D winner.

Most of his runs on turf have been on soft ground and he's won three times on that surface; runner-up at Lingfield (6f) in June but below his best in both starts since (soft turf/AW); could return to some form and run well.

11-time AW winner (mainly on Polytrack); ought to have been suited by the soft ground when well-held fifth at Windsor on Saturday, after a break, and might find younger rivals better handicapped here.
