Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 4 at Sale and recording a swift 24.41 over the 435m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Finished seventh last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track. Can come into calculations at odds.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (18.98), beating Greysynd Merlin. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.

Comments

Recorded a 2.75 lengths win (19.12) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
