Form & Verdict
Good record on AW, shaping well at Wolverhampton last August and making it 3-3 in handicaps when getting the better of Elladonna over C&D last month (pair well clear); 4lb rise may underestimate her and her stable won this race with fillies with a similar profile in 2023 and 2024; draw could have been kinder but she's still a major player.

Mostly progressive filly who followed a close third in a York Listed event (1m2.5f, good) in July by making her breakthrough at that level with a narrow but fairly convincing success over 1m4f at that track (good to firm) last month; should be fine back at this trip and she's a threat if soft ground proves no barrier.

Highly progressive in AW handicaps prior to creditable third of six in Group 3 at Newcastle (again AW) in June, all at about 1m2f; she's failed to match that back on turf (good; unraced on firmer) for her last two outings, but kept on steadily for a close third of 12 (on the heels of Rainbows Edge) in Listed race here on latest to give some hope for this new trip.

She made a winning stable/AW debut when staying on well in Class 4 fillies' handicap at Kempton in November (1m3f); prominent in the betting but finished a well-beaten fourth of five in a Listed race back at Kempton last month (1m4f); this should prove more manageable.
