Won four of his last six starts and showed a good attitude when scoring at Windsor two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); a 6lb rise for that hard-fought success does demand more in this higher grade though; fair third on only AW run (Tapeta).

Form & Verdict

Built upon her previous promise to win a six-runner Class 5 handicap over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; has a 7lb rise and tougher opposition to deal with today but this well-bred 3yo had 4l to spare last time and may well have more to offer; she's one to consider.

Seems to act on good to soft but it was good to firm when she raced clear of Magical Merlin over C&D last month; good show against a subsequent winner here since and although she's paid the price with a further 4lb rise (now 11lb higher than the win) she's likely to go well again.

Not quite in the same form as previously but consistent in defeat since back at 1m for new yard and he didn't seem to have a problem with this trip in his first 1m2f handicap for previous yard, at Ayr (good to soft; acts on good to firm) in September; probably not far away.
