Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song.

New yard for last three starts; first two were good, making most on first occasion and close up long way next time when she finished under 1l behind Doom in C&D Group 2 at the Royal meeting; ran poorly on Chelmsford AW (7f) on latest outing and even her best form requires marked improvement.

Form & Verdict

Completed an AW hat-trick (all at around 1m on Tapeta) when trained by Charlie Appleby; had a wind operation prior to his stable debut at Newcastle in June (1m; after 518 days off) and he responded well to pressure, narrowly beaten into fourth in a blanket finish; poor run on soft turf at Doncaster next time but he's better than that and still has potential back on AW.

Form & Verdict

Well beaten in 1m2f Listed events on turf when last seen in midsummer; returning to AW (4-8, including C&D, as opposed to 0-16 on turf) a big plus and he can go well after a break; one to take seriously with Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, for all the cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts) are now dispensed with
