Confirmed promise of his return when getting off the mark in big-field handicap over C&D in April. Progress seemed to have stalled subsequently, but got back on the up when only narrowly denied in 5-runner contest here 7 days ago. Likely contender.

Losing run is mounting up, but after 3 months off he shaped promisingly when third of 5 in handicap over this C&D 7 days ago (½ length behind Montezuma in second). Lurks on a dangerous mark given another try in cheekpieces.

Landed the odds in 4-runner C&D maiden last summer. Made the frame on handicap/seasonal debut at Thirsk in April, before seventh of 12 at the same course the following month. Eased 2 lb in the weights but still looks to have something to find.

3-time winner in 2025, including back-to-back 5f handicaps in August. Yet to score this season, but with visor quickly refitted she left behind a lesser effort when third at Thirsk 6 days ago. Could be in the mix racing off her last winning mark.
