Form & Verdict

Likes to lead; best turf form when C&D winner (good; has won on good to soft) in July and although no match for the winner at Leicester since, that one had a good deal going for him on the day; ran up to her best on the AW since and unlikely to be far away.

Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade.

Both wins at 6f (good to soft and good to firm) but two forays over 1m, albeit well-held runner-up to Lady Flora over C&D, then never involved at Sandown, suggest he probably stays this far; likely to need a weak handicap to win off this mark, though.
