His last three wins, two this season, have come at Chester; full value for last week's success (5f, good to soft) where he overcame both a wide draw and trouble in running and a 2lb rise looks generous; 2-3 over C&D and he's of some interest, even allowing for stall 1.

Something of a slow burner but things have really clicked in recent weeks, showing fine speed to win a 6f handicap at Thirsk in good style last month; confirmed herself an improved performer when third in a Racing League event at Newcastle three weeks ago, making the running and only picked off late; the second there has advertised the form since and she could well have more to come; key player.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when running away with a Class 6 at Thirsk 13 days ago (6f, good to firm), breaking the course record in the process; still has untapped potential but she did have the rail and the advantage of a tailwind at Thirsk and trying to dominate this field back at 5f might be more challenging.
