Comment: Had been looking a shade exposed but now seeks a hat-trick after clearcut wins in a Fontwell novice (2m5f) and a C&D handicap (again on good ground); still rated some 8lb inferior to Deep Purple but she's receiving 7lb from that rival and Ciaran O'Shea rides again claiming 7lb; clear claims.

Comment: On a hat-trick after good-ground wins at Southwell and here; pulled clear with a subsequent winner the last time so a 5lb rise was warranted; recently sold out of Olly Murphy's yard for £21,000; Sean Bowen knows him well.
