Three of his four wins have been on the AW and the other came on heavy ground when trained in France; has posted some solid efforts since the blinkers went on and again holds place claims.
All five wins have been over 1m but he was runner-up over this trip on three occasions last year; had excuse when last seen (bolted to post) but his slow starts means he comes with risks attached on this return.
Quickened up well off a steady pace when winning at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month and made it two wins from her last three starts when landing a handicap here (good to soft) over 1m 12 days ago; raised 4lb and now steps back up in trip with solid claims if handling the likely quicker ground.
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously.
0-20 (Flat/hurdles) but she caught the eye after a slow start at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and was narrowly beaten after completely missing the break at Kempton (1m, AW) 35 days ago; strong claims over this longer trip if exiting the stalls on terms.
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims.
Below her best on the AW this winter but she returned to some form when runner-up here at around 1m4f on Monday; that was her first start for 77 days and this dual course winner should have no issue with the drop back in trip.
