Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) in June and fair efforts the next twice (11.3f/9.7f, good/soft); went close over 1m2f at Ayr yesterday but there's a suspicion this trip may just stretch her.

Has run six times (6f-1m1f) and is yet to finish closer than 7l to a winner, but she's a half-sister to the stable's star stayer Wise Eagle and the step up in trip catches the eye; market support would be interesting.

Improved for the step up to 1m4f when going down narrowly at Hamilton (soft) in August but she hasn't done as well in two starts since, in cheekpieces latest (now discarded); no strong reason to expect revival back here. |

Pulled clear with the winner when second at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) but only eighth at Catterick when sent off the 5-4 favourite (having been raised 4lb); beaten too far out to blame the 1m6f; cheekpieces now added. |

Yet to win (12 races) and not the easiest of rides but he's been on the premises plenty of times at 1m6f-2m, including when cheekpieces were installed at this track (claimer ridden) and Nottingham on last two outings; good each-way claims. |
