Justified favouritism in apprentice event at Leicester on Wednesday; escapes a penalty

In particularly good form with blinkers reapplied the last twice; major player

Perhaps ideally suited by further but can't be dismissed back in Class 5

Solid record in handicaps this term; may still be capable of more progress

3lb out of the weights but it's difficult to rule out this in-form filly
